We need to uninstall Chrome completely and remove the user folder, then re-install it if you want to keep Chrome


It's hidden so we have to show hidden files and folders.

Here's how to display hidden files and folders.

    Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button (Windows Globe), clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.

    Click the View tab.

    Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then click OK.

    Go to: C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data  <----Delete this folder
    Go to: C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Local\Google  <----Delete this folder

 

Now we need to rehide files, folders:

Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button (Windows Globe) , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.

    Click the View tab.

    Under Advanced settings, uncheck Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then click OK.


Also if you have utilized chrome's "sync" ability, that may be bringing the infection back as well we need to uninstall


check the section for "delete your synced data from your Google Account " at the bottom of the page

How will I know if that was effective, wait to see if the pop-ups don't come back? 

Yes but do ad Adblock Plus

Also what is 41.teracreateive.com and why is my PC is trying to connect to this site?

It's what we call a browser hijacker that you picked up somewhere and it's trying to "Call Home"
