McAfee Installed itself [Possible Win10 Update?]

[Pup Shepard]

I have been running Glass Wire for a few weeks. A few minutes ago I noticed McAfee had installed itself. I do not use McAfee, I never have used it; however, most important I did not install this. How did this get installed?
My computer is a clean install of windows 10 pro with the following hardware listed at the bottom.

I haven't installed any program that would do this in recent time.

I have attached many relevant images to figure out how this got installed on my machine.

Did you update Adobe flash player? It tries to sneak it in there unless you specifically uncheck the check box during installation.

Nexus mod manager, I have used it before on previous systems, I never had this issue with the nexus community.

It's strange, McAfee is not listed in the installed programs listing.

well every1 has to make money somehow, but mc affee is especially sneaky when it comes to bloadware-like installations.. sometimes you can even uncheck "yes, i want to install xzy" and once you press "Finish" itll install anyways.. in this case you have to press the X to close the installer instead of the Finish button then it wont install. maybe this happened to you by accident.. i always close stuff like that with the taskmanager or X.

I think it may have been installed by Intel true key.  A product Linus showed off in one of LMGs videos. Also here are more pictures of its invasive nature.  I found it in services as well as in other file trees.
