autohotkey

All of a sudden fc24 will not load on steam the splash screen says it cannot run with  'autohotkey' running. I have no idea what autohotkey is and it is not installed on my pc, I do not play online so I do not understand why ea's anticheat software throws up this error. The only wayI can get fc24 to run is by verifying the files on steam everytime I start the game which is not ideal. Help please
