Sorry Polonus, can't help.
Did you try AdBlock Plus?

Hi Tech,

I think the code in the new tab windows that shows this is this: http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/chrome/browser/extensions/apps_promo.h
It is in the official build, but I think it is annoying:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31889
code of the plug-in here: http://www.margoextend.net/plugins/fetchCode/id/6298
Anyone on this. It is no malware I think, just sits there before "most visited" and "recently closed", must have accidently click it to open it.
I always start Google Chrome from within ChromePrivicyGuard,
but this does not seem to block this,
