Why do you say it is spyware?
I can find nothing on that specific item but lots on service worker inactive chrome. The search hits suggest it is a Chrome extension issue and not spyware.
I suggest you look through those hits and see what applies to you but from what I see, you need to determine which extension is causing the problem, then uninstall it, restart Chrome and if you want that extension, install the latest version.

I wouldn't exacly call Chrome spyware but I would certainly not install it on my PC in the first place.

I don't think he is calling Chrome spyware. He is suggesting whatever is being identified in his screen shot is spyware.
Regardless - I see no evidence of that, one way or the other. What I "think" is happening is he has an extension to Chrome installed on his system that is not behaving as it should.

I was trying to be sarcastic. That post made no sense, but I guess noone can understand everything.
