To this day I don't know what or why Google Chrome was using up all the processing power on my laptop while it was installed. As soon as I deleted Chrome, my 12gb laptop ran fine again.

It probably wasn't keylogging but it was probably not updating itself 24/7 either.

You'd be surprised at how shit Chrome's autoupdate is.
