Chrome extension malware

One day: Chrome when I search, redirects to directsearchapp and pops me into random stuff like yahoo

try to solve myself: deleted all extensions, checked search engines, found "directsearchapp" in URL with %s in place of query of search engines, can't add new ones or change it.

next: research, found registry editor: Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist

there is shit in there.

"aibrowserupdate" unable to delete it....

try to delete chrome: CANT

update it: doesnt do anything

download programs like malwarebytes, adwcleaner to try to fix this.

run it: INSTANTLY GETS CLOSED...

help please..
