OK many thanks for you help!
I just had a thought though - When I installed windows 10 I had loads of problems with it and I had several microsoft technicians work on my computer over a period of a few days. Eventually they got it all working. I guess it's possible that one of them could have installed it on my PC.
Come to think of it that seems like the likeliest scenario
Thanks

Hi Boggin
I'm using Windows 10 and I've looked and you're right it is under Apps. I have also managed to find it in the list of programs in 'Add or Remove' programs.
I'm baffled though as I didn't install it myself and it recently ran a scan of my start up files unbidden (which is how I came to realise it was there). Could it be malware posing as tweaking.com?
If I click on Apps and scroll to it and hover over it it reveals three options
Open Windows repaior (WR)
Tweaking.com Registry repair
Tweaking.com - windows repair
Any ideas?

Tweaking.com windows repair appeared on my PC without me putting it there.
I realise it could have come bundled with other software without me noticing. It doesn't appear in my list of programs though when I go to 'add or remove' programs. Could it be malware pretending to be the genuine software. I'm very suspicious of it because I didn't put it there myself.
Thanks
Nick
Solved - through discussing this on this forum I realised taht a microsoft engineer must ahve put it on my machine when they worked on it last year. I vaguely remember them doing that at the time now I reflect on it.
