Default Adware Problem

Usually I don't have any trouble removing this #### when it crops into my system through various unsuspecting people clicking yes/approve on everything they see, but for some reason I have run out of possible solutions to removing some adware that's operating under the name dns unlocker. It has totally infested Google Chrome.

I have also had very little success in finding solutions on the net (as most results are sponsored, so they direct you to buy some sort of completely unneeded software). I've tried a couple of approved free options (ADWCleaner, etc.), tried uninstalling all dodgy programs, and even tried a system restore point (which, in the past as a last resort, has always worked).

I don't have any anti-virus or malware protection, and haven't for years as I am extremely careful and very minimalist with my system.

If anybody can help me out it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. I can provide any additional information that I'm capable of.
