Answer
Matthew, if you're talking about the following:

doesn't sound like you have a problem (Malwarebytes may not consider it a threat). Some application installers do unusual things as they're installing.

If it's installed and you don't want it, go to Add/Remove Programs, find the .Exe Theta (or the game name) and uninstall it.

If you have a problem, please provide the full name of the game/installer, what system you're using and any unusual behavior.
