Hey Folks, I keep getting popups by this weird spyware called "discountman". When I google it, it tells me to do things I have already done like remove it from my Chrome extensions, manually delete the extensions folder from my C: drive, and scan my computer with various spyware programs (see link below). However, it goes fine for a couple of days but then somehow manages to come back. Has anyone else encountered this "discountman" bug?
I have done all 5 steps from this link

I even installed Revo Uninstaller, but it cannot find "Discountman".
Under "extension" it says C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Extensions\chrome\ app\37.1329.1.2
But when I go to the Application folder, there is no "extensions" folder. It must be hiding somehow.
I even tried restore, but it can only go back to 6 days ago on Windows 7. Doesn't solve the issue. Anyone have success without having to reformat their hard drive?
