After thinking about this a little more, I would run as fast as possible away from anything that “just shows up” on my computer.

Tech here, agree wholeheartedly. Anything that just turns up like that is very likely bad news, unless you're in a corporate environment where they can push software down to client machines from the network. I'd see if it's going to be nice and let you uninstall it t6he normal way (probably not) them pull down the free edition of MalwareBytes from malwarebytes.org, run a full scan and blow away anything it finds and doesn't like.

Just downloaded malwarebytes (again) to clean my machine. Always does a good job. I may even upgrade to the “paid” version. I don’t do that often with software off the internet.

Riley is right. If malwarebytes doesnt kill it since it is one of a few isidious things, unhackme by greatis, with this caveat:

Greatis is a reputable site and UnHackMe can be effective if you know how to use it.

If you’re unsure how to use a particular Anti-rootkit (ARK) tool or interpret the log it generates, then you should not be using it. Some ARK tools are intended for advanced users or to be used under the guidance of an expert who can interpret the log results. Arks are powerful tools and using them incorrectly could lead to disastrous problems with your operating system. Most of the more effective ARK tools should only be used under the guidance of an expert who knows how to investigate its log for malicious entries before taking any removal action.
