Hi, I'd like to ask about the chrome.exe process that is multiplied in Processes section in my Windows Task Manager any time I start Chrome.
I read on the Internet that it may be a malware/virus, the one called Powelix, which is about to start many unwanted ads on visited websites.
I'm not sure if it's malware since my PC works properly, I checked it now with NOD32, detection engine 19548 - no viruses found.
When I start Chrome and open 4 different tabs, I see 14 processes, all named chrome.exe. With a single Chrome tab in open, I see 8 processes chrome.exe.
Not sure if it's something wrong or it's a normal behaviour of Chrome, since after I checked the file location for every of these chrome.exe processes, they all lead to the same file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application.
