have you run a scan with Malwarebytes, and removed any PUP found…

have you run AdwCleaner and deleted any crap found…

Yes to both of them and there no problems detected found by either of them.

Disable your add-ons / plugins one at a time to see which one is causing the problem.

If disabling them is not solving it…
Follow the instructions and ATTACH the logs to your next post.

Did you try using the Avast browser cleanup tool? Adwcleaner does remove most of the toolbars, but running a scan with that wont hurt.
