    Hi all,

    I use diferent browsers for different things on my computer, but have noticed that recently when i have been using Google Chrome, that even though i only have 1 window open, i have between 6-9 chrome.exe proccessess running in my task manager along with about 3 rundll32.exe proccessess.

    This dont seem quite right considering i ony just start Chrome and it happens immediatly.

    Can someone please tell me why it says so many instances of Chrome are running when infact only 1 is. I did think it had something to do with plug-ins, but it doesnt seem to be.

    Any help would be great.

    Thank You

    Andy

    It's normal behavior for Chrome — one chrome.exe represents the browser window, one for each plugin (eg. Flash), and one each for every tab
