   Solution

   During install, simply don't click the checkmark under the TOS that states "Optional: Help make Chrome better by automatically sending usage statistics and crash reports to Google."
   scan with a-squared and it take out the updater.

   Google Earth Result about 2,630,000. scan with a-squared and it take out the key logger.

   I must say....despite the fact that it has all of the parts of spyware, it is missing one key part. It's optional. You can choose to send back your results or not. How many spyware programs do you know of that let you choose whether it can spy on you or not?

   Microsoft: Google Chrome doesn't respect your privacy
   "Watch a demo on how Google Chrome collects every keystroke you make and how Internet Explorer 8 keeps your information private through two address bars and In Private browsing."
   See for yourself: download Fiddler and type something into the address bar on Chrome and watch how Fiddler reacts when you have Search Suggestions on and off. Then do the same in both IE8 fields.

   lol it's not spyware. I use Google Chrome and love it's speed. Many programs allow you to optionally send usage statistics nowadays. It's the results of these statistics that help them figure out what needs to be fixed in future updates.

   spyware transmits information in the background, Not in the Readme !!
   For example, it might say that the program performs anonymous profiling.
