Chrome Extensions Virus Problems

Have a huge problem with Chrome Extensions. Can't seem to remove them permanently from Chrome.

One, SavELots 6.3 which I can remove by clicking the checked box "Enabled" and then clicking on the trash can icon. But, it reloads whenever I reload or restart Chrome.

UDATE: SavELots 6.3 is now permanently removed!

The second, AdRemaOverUTube1.9 cannot be removed at all.

Doing a internet search, I've discovered that both of these are viruses. However, the steps they show to remove them have all failed. I did all the following steps to remove them. Sofware spyware programs that promise to find and remove them, remove Chrome and re-instal it, did a system restore over a week before the problem showing up a few weeks ago, etc.

I have the latest version of Chrome Version 32.0.1700.102 m

Anybody have this same problem? Any idea how to get rid of it?

I'm about to remove Chrome and never use it again! However, I read these viruses can aslo find there way in FireFox and IE. Don't have FF but MSN, and IE don't show this virus at work. Popup ads, ad suggestions in text, etc. Don't see much logic getting rid of Chrome when FF can have the same problem. But, I have a STRONG feeling to do so if I can't cure this.

I had a problem like this a few months ago, can't remember exactly what I did, but iirc I went into the control panel in the computer and deleted the actual malware software.
 
You know what you have to do:

Did you follow instructions about removing registry entries? Sometimes, you have to reboot from a clean OS so you can mop those up.
 
The registry entries couldn't be found! Well, not what they listed.

However, I was able to remove the SavELots virus. The location of the file in the above pic was finally found and deleted and is now gone.

However, the other one was also found and deleted but it keeps showing back up again in Chrome.
 
Ok, Savelots 6.3 is permanently removed!

However, the other one is not. It must have a second location from the ID location - njkapighkbjmpomdhfghkcafelhbpnki Did a search for it on my PC, found it and deleted it. But, the problem still exists.
