Question Where Did NoVirusThanks Come From?

I just noticed that NoVirusThanks is installed, and I'm not sure where it came from. Research tells me it's not malicious, but I know I didn't install it (no need, because I use BitDefender), In my Add/Remove Programs menu, it's listed as "NoVirusThanks License Manager V1.5.2"

I assume this was bundled with something else I installed around that time, but not sure what. Or maybe snuck in through another programs updates?

In a quick search it appears to be (another) free A/V, malware program. I would be willing to bet it was bundled with something else and you missed "unchecking the box" for opting out.

UPDATE:

So, at risk at embarrassing myself, I'm gonna post this anyway so others can find it helpful (and to not cause confusion). Looks like I did install this...back when I used Registry DeleteEx. I had completely forgot about it, and only used it for like 10 minutes (and uninstalled it when it didn't work for what I needed). Luckily, Revo Uninstaller keeps a backup up of all removed reg data. I sorted by date and checked Christmas eve. And there it was.

So, thanks and sorry for not remembering!
