Since it's such a backbone of any system (sarcasm intended), then just
remove it. If you're right, things will work great.

+1: any prog. that installs something without asking gets a very dim
look from me. As Paul said, probably get their uninstaller, if they have

runs out, rather than doing anything else (including nagging), then I'd
be less cross - though still unhappy about it having done it in the
first place.
