Hello,
For some time now, when I browse the internet, ad pages keep popping up...
Although I have downloaded and run scans with AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, the pages continue to show up (but are blocked by MBAM)
I wanted to know if reformatting my PC would help me get rid of all this...
Otherwise, could someone please tell me the steps to follow to remove what I must have accidentally downloaded?
Thank you in advance.

You have installed a malicious extension on Google Chrome.

Open a new tab.
Then paste the address chrome://extensions
Delete the Color Picker extension

This should resolve the issue.
Read the document linked about malicious extensions to understand how you installed it and how to avoid being tricked in the future.
This document explains how to reset Google Chrome, which can also help in resolving issues.

Alright, it's done...
But I'm not sure the problem is over... I've been using Color Picker for almost a month and the new ad tabs have started appearing for about 3 days now...
