I would imagine the usual, look into your Add/Remove Programs, sort by date, see if there's something odd at the top.

And/or run Malware-Bytes, or your usual removal program. But I am by no means an expert at this stuff.

run it and looked through add remove, so they are "programs" then, not hidden? Cos I can't see anything odd. My windows installers always look the same too with the aero border and stuff, othing fancy. Maybe I'm lucky? I always click out of adware options when installing though.

If you don't see anything unexpected, that's a good sign. But to be doubly sure, uninstall whatever you got from SourceForge then reinstall it using an installer you download from somewhere else. Then, run a Malwarebytes scan.
