How do I disable the chrome helper

I have several chrome windows open at a time and all the google chrome helper processes are using too much memory. How can I disable these from starting? All the instructions I've found seem to be for older versions of chrome.

Why cant I get rid of google chrome helper - I don’t even have google chrome anymore! I deleted google chrome months ago, when it was slowing my MacBook down and heating it up. I’ve recently been having similar problems so I opened my activity monitor and Google Chrome Helper is suddenly there again using 50-60% CPU! Any advice would be great. I have reinstalled chrome and tried to disable the helper, but the option wasn’t there in my settings so I just deleted chrome again but the helper is still showing up!
