Okay so firstly do you have any sort of an anti-virus installed on the machine, if so .. run that.

If that does'nt remove the thing download malware bytes and see if that picks anything up.

You don't need to buy one there are a few decent free ones out there.

If it's not showing in control panel > Programs and features

open the program files folder from within the "C" drive and head to

Organize > Folder and search options > View > click the "Show hidden files, folders or drives" radio button and hit apply then ok, See if it lists it there.
