I some how managed to download a virus last night called game bot, this so called virus then installs shit loads of stuff nobody would ever want such as:

Snap.do
Sonic Search

I have tried everything to remove these and cannot, these are the last 2 remaining things from the virus I believe and they keep changing my browser settings

There is nothing in add/remove programs to remove these, I have tried numerous programs such as adaware, malwarebytes, avast and still they remain taking over my Google Chrome.

How do I get rid of them without re-formating.

Thank you
 
Have you booted to safe mode and tried the malware cleaners? Sometimes it takes that to make sure the virus isn't loaded to memory to keep replacing itself.
