Hi, as report from libeccio42 and Jerry, there's some problem with speed-dial. Also in Firefox with speed-dial addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/speed-dial/?src=ss).
After running ADW-Cleaner and reboot, the addons was deleted from Firefox. The string concerned is reported on this screenshot: http://i58.tinypic.com/fu0xt1.jpg
Thanks for attention

I found AdwCleaner to be awesome, thank you very much! But I also found that even after running it, if I reinstalled Chrome, the speedial redirect would be reinstalled.

I found the speedial browser redirect also inserts a key into the Windows registry that causes Chrome to reinstall speedial whenever Chrome is reinstalled itself.

Details here:

The key on my Win 7 / 64 machine is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions\bakijjialdiiboeaknfpmflphhmljfkd
