I am also wondering if this is possibly automatically detecting CutePDF writer. I work for a MSP and on some of the machines I manage I know that they do not use CutePDF writer. If I uninstall it with PatchMyPC it goes away for a couple of days. When PatchMyPC runs again it shows up and it is out of date and I get Exit Code 1.

"CutePDF writer" fails to install in silent mode and for that we are removing it in the next Patch My PC release!
For now you can completely avoid it by right click on it and choose "Disable Scanning for this app"
