You said you ran it. Were you monitoring something with it? If so, it is
perfectly normal - nay, desireable - for it to implant itself to run after a
reboot. That is so it can *continue* monitoring any app that you are
installing that may require a reboot (and which may add stuff afterwards).
Once it finishes monitoring and you close the program it won't run again
until you start it.
