DNS info gets saved in Windows (and other OS). If it has the wrong address, it can get it from the cache, and continues to go to the wrong place until that info expires. Sometimes the virus guys have code that will "poison" the cache with re-routing information.
It really doesn't have anything to do with Chrome. It's just how the computer figures out where to go in response to a request.

How to Clear DNS Caches in Mac OS X Yosemite or El Capitan
To reset cache you need to use the Terminal. Find the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/ or open it with Spotlight. Target both UDNS (Unicast DNS) and MDNS (Multicast DNS) with two different commands to fully flush all DNS caches in the most recent version of OS X.
Clear MDNS Cache
sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache
Press return key and enter the admin password when asked.
Clear UDNS Cache
sudo discoveryutil udnsflushcaches
Another time, press return key and enter the admin password when asked. In the second command the caches is plural, a small but crucial syntax variation.

Thanks for the MAC info, Mark.
BTW, if anyone has a Linux device, or some other piece of hardware, or they don't want to find (and remember) the commands, most DHCP enabled devices (get IP address from server, router, etc.) will get their DNS cache reset with just a complete restart of the unit.
So, if all else fails, shut it down and restart it and try again.
