Chrome extension keeps coming back Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

Every time I launch google chrome, I noticed that the extension "poohjpljfecljomfhhimjhddddlidhdd" keeps installing which I suspected has caused my internet and chrome to slow dramatically every time I try to search up or do something on chrome. I would have to then use Adwcleaner to remove the extension and my computer would be fine if I don't launch chrome. I've tried to re-install chrome but that still didn't work.
