Go to chrome://extensions/ find the one that doesnt work, AdBlock in your case and click on little garbage icon to remove it. Than go to chrome web store and add AdBlock again

If this happened on chrome update, you should check is it issue with chrome

So check for your version of chrome chrome://help/ Current version (as of Jan 25, 2015) is 40.0.2214.91 and on this one adblock is working fine. (maybe you didnt update your chrome)

• Try to clear cache, with Chrome and with CCleaner, to remove all app data and install AdBlock again
• Try to remove all extensions and add them one by one, to check if some of them is making problems
• or try clean install of google chrome.
• Downgrade Chrome to previous version where everything was working fine

I would definitely run CCleaner, or some similar tool to clean cache and fix some registry issues.

Uninstall Google Chrome from your PC and re-install it, add the add-ons again and it will work.

{edit} To un-install it completely go to control panel>programs>unistall or change a program> From there uninstall the google chrome. Even delete the installation file from the downloads folder that won't matter but its your choice. Open and download it from here. And install it, and add the add-ons.

This will work in case this not works, there might be some problem in your computer, clean it up if not.
