just caught Google installing chrome on my computer

use DuckDuckGo search engine and another email provider. I was using mail, but can't seem to access it anymore.

also what browser are you using? weird.

IE 11 ,

even without being logged in to google, they have 57 ways of actively 'watching' your every move on your pc. Check your start op processes for instance. Googleupdater.exe ...

56 more to find.

You're better off with Chrome.

When installing a app, read the screens, don't just push the buttons.

google chrome is the most hackable, written that way as gov mil gets direct back door.

another search engine is startpage.com

remove as much google from everything you do. All is sent directly to NSA

Same with microsoft, etc.

So instead of microsoft office use free trusted open source "open office"

make sure your computer does not have "team viewer" or other remote access, sharing things on there
