Follow these steps:

1) Reset Google Chrome to default: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214?hl=en

2) Open the Run command and execute the following commands one by one:

temp – delete all the files in the folder.

%temp% – delete all the files in the folder.

prefetch – delete all the files in the folder.

3) Install uBlock Origin ( https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en&pli=1 ) and Ghostery ( https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ghostery-tracker-ad-block/mlomiejdfkolichcflejclcbmpeaniij ) on your Google Chrome. Both extensions will help in blocking ads and trackers on your Google Chrome browser. Ensure you select all the available filters in them.
