I keep having 3 Google-Chrome marked tasks in manager but:

  1. I don't have Google-Chrome - I uninstalled it months ago
  2. Every time I end all three tasks they just come back seconds later

I'm always getting random videos come up on my screen when in the middle of a game.

I would suggest the following:

Use Process Explorer - the alternative to task manager. This will give you more information on the processes that you see. If you open process properties you will also be able to see the executable that is associated with the process. See example on the screenshot below: enter image description here

Then you will be able to manually delete the executable.

Another important part is to find out what launched that particular process. So I would suggest to inspect "startup" folder and also search the registry for entries containing "google-chrome". You can safely delete any entries containing "google-chrome" if you have previously uninstalled this application and you are sure that you don't need it.
