 * This is quite a few times I have found this plugin installed on various wordpress
   sites of mine.
 * I have never actually installed this and I have never gave permission for this
   to be installed.
 * Unless you have explicitly installed this plugin I advise that you AVOID and 
   REMOVE it all costs. It seems to be malicious and I have also noticed its presence
   around the same time some WP installs are corrupted / hacked.
