Sweetpacks, Snap.do, etc. will NOT UNINSTALL?
I have tried SO MANY ways to get rid of these extensions, yet, any time I open chrome they're there to annoy me. I opened Control panel, no sign there, use AVG and a ton of other stuff to remove these extensions like Sweetpacks, snap.do, and all. Went to AppData to delete some new stuff, yet no results. (I just got these extensions today somehow. I don't know how). Likewise, I've tried literally EVERYTHING ehow and other websites told me to do in order to delete sweetpacks and snap.do, and opti-search and all that junk. PLEASE, ANYONE AT ALL, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEASE HELP ME GET RID OF THESE EXTENSIONS FOR CHROME.
Did what you said, STILL NO FIX. I uninstalled chrome, STILL NO FIX.
And the snap.do and all the other useless extensions aren't appearing in Glary utilities.
Well, I couldn't get SweetPacks or snap.do, or opti search fully uninstalled, YET, I was able to go to settings, and find the startup pages, then disable them on startup. Perhaps they're on my PC, perhaps not. Likewise, it's not annoying me anymore. And one more thing, people, I think i got all this malware from UTorrent. So please, do NOT download UTorrent if you want to be safe. Okay? : )

P.S. , Thanks, Insane_mad_maniak .

Malwarebytes
https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Glary Utilities
http://www.filepuma.com/download_glary_utilities_254/

download both and install, fully update Malwarebytes then do a full system scan, delete what is found.

then run Glary Utilities, the 'Advanced Tools' tab under 'System Tweaks' select 'Browser Assistant', at the bottom will be internet explorer, FireFox and Google Chrome icons, open the google chrome icon, then you can remove the extension.

Edit_

open start menu, control panel, Program and Features. click on 'Date installed' one of the programs you have installed when this started to happen probably has it bundled with it or you inadvertantly installed something when installing a program, i'd uninstall any programs you have downloaded and installed 24 hours before this appeared. then redownload those programs and make sure you uncheck box's for bundled programs and if asked, do a 'custom' install, these usually give you extra options to uncheck.

the extentions could also be bundled with other extensions you have, so uninstalling them will just reinstall them strait away, you will have to go through the 'settings' in the Extensions menu in chrome to see if any of them are the culprit. usually when this happens to me i disable all and 'reset' chrome (right at the bottom of the settings) and then enable extensions one by one, the cuplrit usually shows up quicker.
