        Hi Val,

        No, it's just a tool, that has either downloaded from a website or possibly
        come packaged with software that has been installed.

          These things are what the security industry call 'PUPs'
          Potentually Unwanted Programs.

          They come packaged with other software and can be a real pain, as in extreme cases, they can alter the security or privacy settings of a computer.

          Use the removal tool to get rid of it, as it is not needed and removal will not harm your PC.
