I had similar problem few days ago ...

I'm using "Super Awesome New Tab Page" for Chrome, and since few days ago random ads started popping on youtube, ebay, dx.com, amazon etc ... Took me ~30 mins to figure out which extension it was, and removed it... They also injected <script> tags to ALL websites I visited (that loaded external JS), tracking my history and they could easily put any form/input logging and silently insert keylogger into my Chrome if they wanted. I have reported the extension then, but nothing happened yet.
