Most of them were garbage extensions for enhancing search results, converting files, secure searches, etc.
When Google bans Chrome extensions, they're disabled in your browser, but not actually removed (IR reasons and such).

Go to chrome://extensions and see if you have any extensions marked with "malware" and remove them.
