Re: What is this?Hi Cheryl.
I take a very dim view of anything installed on my PC without my knowledge or consent whether it be "a good thing" or not. Taking immediate steps to remove it would be my initial reaction. AMD Ryzen 3900x 12C/24T, ASUS x570 mobo, Arctic Liquid Freezer ll 280, Win11 64 bit, 64GB RAM, Radeon RX 570 graphics, Samsung 500GB NVMe 980 PRO (C:), Samsung 970 Evo SSD (D:), Dell U2717D Monitor, Synology DS412+ 8TB NAS, Adobe CS6.
Re: What is this?It looks legitimate - but if you want to remove it you can uninstall it in the usual way. They have a page about completely removing all trace.
https://www.charityengine.com/node/1201 It won't have come as part of a Win7 update as it's totally separate software. It possibly might be as an extra with something else - although installing unwanted software is a great way to get yourself on blocked lists which doesn't appear to suit their model. Intel Core i7 8700 - 32GB DDR4 - 500GB Evo 970 SSD - 3+2 TB HDD - GTX 1080- MSI Z370 Pro - Win10 64 bit - Cannon HV30 (PAL) - Sony A6000 - GoPro 3 Black
Re: What is this?Thanks for the replies. The date under program add/remove was the same date my daughter was in town using my computer. She also accidentally installed Yahoo toolbar. Mystery solved.

Re: What is this?
I'd make sure to run Malwarebytes or whatever antimalware software you use. You never know...

Re: What is this?If you are really hesitant you could just do a system restore to the day before she got there.... lol

Re: What is this?
It wouldn't hurt to run a scan.
Re: What is this?A scan has been done. I don't want to restore. It was a while back and no problems. I may nose around the add/remove list to check for that date in question. When our Turkish student lived with us she changed my browser to Turkish and then left to go home on break. The next morning I did slightly panic for a few minutes. I did figure it out by guessing how to change it back to English.
