Hi guys. When I'm browsing on Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop, it frequently runs very very slow. I look in task manager and a process called WebHelper is chewing up about one third of the CPU. I've googled this and thre's no clear explanation of what it is, one of the suggestions is to remove WebHelper.dll from the PC, but this isn't on my system.
