Why AVG SafePrice was added to Chrome when AVG is removed since long lime?

I had a free version of AVG antivirus on my Windows 10 machine that I removed a half a year ago.

Today I opened Chrome with another profile and I mentioned that AVG SafePrice extention was added to Chrome.

Printscreen with Chrome extension added

This extension was removed immediately. The question is how to catch the spy process that added it to Chrome?

After uninstalling of AVG I ran full scan with Windows Defender Antivirus: nothing was found.

UPDATE As suggested, I ran Chrome with --enable-extension-activity-logging and tried to see activity log of this newly added extension but unfortunately it's empty

View the Activity Log of Chrome.

Load chrome://extensions/ in Google Chrome to display all installed extensions.

Click on the Details link next to the extension that you are interested in.

Select the "View Activity Log" option on the page.

What was going on immediately before that (those) event(s)? Look there for the app which added the crudware.
