Google chrome create a lot of process

I am wondering why google chrome have so many process when I never even browsing(0 TAB)?
I thought that was normal but i open up firefox and ie to try.. they used 1 process only o.o

I checked my chrome and with just one tab open in chrome I see 3 entries in the Task Manager. If I open a second tab, I see one additonal task manager entry.

wow..I was wondering if i am infected with a virus but kaspersky scanned nothing. =x

If you don't have it, download the free malwarebytes, malware/spyware scanner and run that.

that's normal...
i have 10 tabs open, i get 12 processes

I currently have 1 Tab open & 3 Extensions installed & have 5 chrome.exe processes running.

Your's does seem like an excessive amount but could be normal like has already been said, anyway have a look at this link - Multiple Chrome.exe Process running for a single tab opened. - Google Chrome Help

You aren't infected. Its perfectly normal behaviour. Its a feature of Chrome that they give a process for each tab and each extension. So if one tab or extension crashes, it doesn't bring down the whole browser and usually the crashed tab restarts itself.

I have 22 chrome processes but I have a number of extensions and Im not overly concerned with the large number. Although it would be nice to have an option to have just one process.

Thanks guys. You all answered my question! <3
