Google has been running a program on the sly called “software reporter tool” that scans the content of your computer and reports it to Google, under the ludicrous claim that they are looking for software incompatible with Chrome.

Yes it is probably on your computer right now if you have Chrome installed. You don’t even have to use it - it will launch itself at 5am when most people won’t notice. If you have some modest tech skills you can disable it to use Chrome safely, but they don’t own up to this at all and didn’t ask permission.

I just disabled that feature (I think).

Go to Settings - Advanced - Reset and Clean-up - Clean-up Computer - then turn off the feature that allows Chrome/Google to search your machine for incompatible software.
