I am having 2 problems:

  1. On using CCleaner, when I open Chrome, it says preferences are corrupt and all settings/apps/extensions get removed.
  2. After displaying the corrupt preferences message, the wrench becomes orange coloured and on clicking it, I see "New Extension Added (Download Accelerator Plus)" even though I have uninstalled this extension.

Please help!
