Parsec Remote Access installed without user knowing (sh.itjust.works)

So I've got a few systems where parsec is installed and I can't uninstall it. Has anyone come across this? The only reason I know it's installed is by running a script that scans for RAT's. I can't find it anywhere else so it could be a false positive but it's a very strange one. Curious if anyone knows of bad actors using it like the other remote access software scammers use. The only difference is these are computers where no scammer has accessed via their usual phishing means.
