What is media booster and why is it on my macbook pro?

I have noticed some problems with my MacBook Pro from the end (apps crashing usually in Chrome, the fan runs continuously) and have tried to identify the source of the problem. Through this process, I came across some applications like Media Booster and Perian and Flip4MacWMV. I don't remember downloading Media Booster and when I did a quick search, I see that it is now deceased and causing problems for some. Can someone tell me if this happened with the computer? Thank you. See below for details.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2009)

1 TB Sata Drive

8 GB memory

Media Booster is an application that is used by the editors of game software to improve the speed of downloading through peer to peer downloads. Many of the games download as part of their installation.

Personally I wouldn't have it on my Mac, but then of course I'm not a gamer.
