Chrome 32 seems to have a lot of processes in Windows 7 Task Manager - MalwareBytes found a lot of probs after Grammarly install.
Now, being suspicious of everything, they notice that the task manager shows that there are 8+ processes running for Chrome 32. Facebook and Gmail are open.
We removed all the unnecessary Chrome extensions we could find. Grammarly was uninstalled using the Windows 7 control panel
Are these processes to be expected? Anything else we should run besides MalWareBytes?
Thanks.

There is really no need to kill them. If you exit chrome and restart it the number will drop and build up again after a while.
The number will also increase if the user opens multiple chrome sessions rather than using tabs.
You can see what's eating your system by doing a little bit of analysis with task manager. Click on performance and if it's near 100% or at 100% your cpu is fully utilized. Click on processes and click on the cpu column to order by cpu usage and find the heaviest users and check if they are valid. Kill any invalid processes. Add the cpu time column to find the heaviest user over time.
Make sure you have enough memory because if you run out, you run into memory and disk swapping which slows things down a lot.
To see how many cores of your cpu it is using open a task manager
If your computer is running slow look in the taskmanager and see what is hogging your system.
Look in Processes.
Become familiar with the processes.
A reboot is often good if you dont shutdown very often.
