Resetting chrome isn't much of a solution if the underlying problem is botnet affiliation (trojan, rootkit, etc). Should be reasonably easy to shut down all applications and services, and inspect the traffic going through the router for suspicious domains. If you only have a windows machine connected there should only be Microsoft traffic and maybe the router manufacturer. Anything else, and it's probably malicious.

Inspecting your PC's traffic from a sniffer on your PC to find a rootkit seems like a fool's errand.

If something has driver / kernel level privileges it can trivially hide such traffic from any sniffer you have running.

Yes, that's why I said to inspect the router's traffic
