    Win 7: I uninstalled Chrome ages ago, but it keeps showing up in my processes when I check for "stuff running in the background". What's going on? I can't uninstall it because I already did. Is this some weird malware? It's not "Chromium", btw.

    Thanks!

    Run Microsoft's Autoruns and search for the Chrome processes you see running. Uncheck them and that should be the end of it.
