Reopened. :)
because I have evidence that the previous answer is incorrect.

This setup.exe annoyed my dad again a couple of days ago so he installed 
Process Explorer.  Then the setup.exe happened again yesterday.  Here's what 
Process Explorer reported:

Clearly this setup.exe is coming from Google with Chrome.

The problem is that setup.exe is running at "Priority - Normal - 8".

Also, immediately after he told me about this, I asked him to check 
about:version.  It reports Google Chrome   22.0.1229.94 (Official Build 161065) 
m, which is the stable update we pushed yesterday.

This evidence (the signature of setup.exe, the fact that immediately afterward 
my father's Chrome browser running an updated version) indicates that this is a 
google process.
