Many don’t know this because of (quietly running) solid State Drives now, but Google Chrome usually shows a high level of disk usage whenever I start it on my legacy desktop. I regularly hear a lot of noise from the drive. It is likely something that does damage because of the frequency with which it is run. It seems very invasive and there is no warning that it’s occurring nor a way to disable it. Is it supposed to be some sort of anti-virus scan? It seems to be a strange trojan app running within Chrome browser. I also wonder what data is being sent to Google based on that activity, as I don’t use their cloud storage or any other active services.
