auto-installs. Can't stop it from repeatedly installing itself. WTF ?

Mike Wilson, 2014-06-26

I believe I found the solution to this stupid auto installing application. Go to the Chrome extension page and click the developer mode button at the top of the page. You should see a really long ID for the extension. Simply search that ID in whatever drive google chrome is installed on(for me it was drive C) and delete that folder. This was the path that I found it in C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ikglgnekadileanonnapmgkeklpgjifk. I also found there were many other folders for extensions I had no idea about, so there might be even more junk to clean up. Hope this helps :)
