Chrome Will Not Quit On OSX Sierra

Google Chrome (updated) keeps reopening when I quit the app. Using Command-Q, Force-quit and even Force-quitting in the Activity Monitor. All steps fail and the app is constantly running...

I cannot trash the app and re-download because the open Chrome app prevents my machine from Shutdown/Restart (of course I can sign out of my Username/account on the Mac but when I restart, Chrome immediately starts up again)

Any ideas would be very much appreciated!

Mac Pro, macOS 10.12

You might have adware/malware installed that is causing the problem. Try downloading this program which was written by Thomas R, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After running the scans, restart the computer.

Thank you Eric! I ran the Anti-malware a couple of times then deleted the really dumb stuff that was in "Quarantine". Chrome is still behaving a little strangely, opens on "search control" Page...

This was driving me crazy as I have been having to restart my mac because of Davinci Resolve crashes...etc.

You are welcome. I've never used Chrome, so I don't know how to control where it opens.
