The fact that I cannot remove/uninstall it makes me suspicious that it is malware

Just realized today that I have cnext. Properties says it is part of AMD. What does it do? I've checked out all the different ways to get rid of it but unable to find it anywhere except as a shortcut in Windows Programs. So - if I can't remove it and it isn't used why did it download and how did it download? Thank you
