What do you mean by killing resources? As in it's force closing other apps?

What sites were you on when that screenshot was taken? RAM usage looks normal but CPU usage does look a bit high depending on what you're doing.

I would be tempted to remove McAfee and stick with Windows Defender, seems it's also hooking into Chrome with the web advisor service, which could increase Chrome's usage.

chrome using resources isn't a problem.

Full PC specs would help and are you using any Chrome extensions that maybe out of date or causing the issues?

As mentioned, what websites do you have open? pressing the > next to Chrome should more details about Chrome and what's running etc

Check all the tasks that are running inside chrome.

It's likely that the software reporting tool (or whatever it is called) is running in the background and using resources.

things like mcafee are pointless, by the time the software as been updated to deal with threats if you was going to be a target you would already as been hit.
