First thing you must do is uninstall Chrome as it has been changed to the developer version, there are no safeguards or security restriction on this version

Thanks essexboy! After I ran through your steps, there have been no pop-ups. Attached are the requested files. If things look good, is it ok to install the ‘non-developer’ version of Chrome? Also, if you have any insight or can point me to any reads on the virus that got on this computer.
Again, many many thank yous!
Yes install the normal chrome now
Basically you had a load of so called optimiser programmes which are just vehicles for showing you ads
Any further problems
Awesome. Again thanks for all your help.
Subject to no further problems 
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
