Completely Remove system-connect Pop-up Ads

Recently, some computer users complained that their browser is infected with  system-connect Pop-up Ads:

This site has taken over my Chrome Browser. It can not be deleted. They want you to call some 800 number and they try to sell a bogus malware program. I un installed and re installed chrome and it is still there. There is some small print that says it is an ad for 'system-connect'
I get system-connect. Have had others before that too and I think some or more are creating Temp files and eating up my memory. If someone can help let me know what to download and try it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
