Have you installed pluraleyes3?

No.

However, I did get into the system library and found it was installed shortly after I purchased the system (I think same day)

thanks elo

One easy way to keep track of software that runs automatically on your Mac is to run an app named BlockBlock. It's free and it monitors startup items as well as launch daemons/agents that run at every boot/logon. Anytime something new gets installed, it lets you know and you have the option to remove the item if you want. It's only for Mavericks or later. It's been in beta for quite a while, but I've had no trouble running it on two Yosemite Macs. I'm not affiliated with the guy who wrote it, I just think it's useful.
