    I found a rogue extension (likely malware?) that I cannot removed, as the delete icon is greyed out and the extension says "installed by enterprise policy".

    I have tried running Spybot Search and Destory, Malwarebytes Anit-Malware, ADWCleaner and HitmanPro - none of these removed it.

    I also looked in the program list in Control Panel, but there is nothing that pertains to thie extension.

    The extentsion is labelled "YTNoAeds".

    I also uninstalled Chrome and cleared the Extension folder in User-Data (inside AppData).

    Anyone got any ideas?

    A computer I use doesn't have access to chrome.google.com/extensions website. I wish I could download the plugin and then use the file to install it, but the only option I have is to install. The plugin is downloaded to a temporary folder with a random name, and I'm not able to identify it.

    I've wondered how to do this too. I found this blog article that has the solution (I edited it to bring it up-to-date):

    1. Find the ID of the extension you’re interested in. When on the details page of the extension, it will be something like 
      bfbmjmiodbnnpllbbbfblcplfjjepjdn
      after 
      https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/
    2. Paste this into Firefox (not Chrome): 
      https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&x=id%3D~~~~%26uc
      and replacing ~~~~ with the extension ID.
    3. You’ll be prompted to save a CRX file. Drag this file to a Chrome window and proceed with installation

    Or just use http://chrome-extension-downloader.com to download a chrome extension easily.

    If you have access to the codebase for the .crx package, you can also install it directly in chrome by going to chrome://extensions/.

    Next click on "Load Unpacked Extensions" and select the root directory (of the code).

    The extension should work now.
