I don't normally ban for offsite behavior but you're a whole level of terrible.

I figured it meant nothing.
I've had it on my laptop forever, and never bothered touching it. It does this every day, and I just x out assuming it was crap.

In some circles that kind of thing would be considered malware, but since it doesn't do anything to your system other than annoy you, you ought to just ditch it entirely. There are a lot of rogue antivirus things that do similar things and also don't touch the rest of the system as well, so ... classify it however you want, I guess.
e: googling it results in many interesting threads around the world about it being difficult to remove. I wonder if something like Malwarebytes would actually detect it as an infection in this case.

Echoing the CCleaner... well, maybe not "love", but at least it's a decently useful program to have installed on your PC. It won't hurt, put it that way.
The thing you have is NOT malware (i.e. if you chose to register the program you wouldn't be dealing with a fake payment page that ends up sending your credit card details to some scammer) but it's not really all that useful. Uninstall it.

Could you close it for me please? It might even be a pretty one :3
