what is waziperstateis and why is it installed on my computer

I created a list of software on my system and came across a program named "waziperstateis" installed by Intuit. This appears to be related to WhatsApp. What is this I how do I get rid of it?

To me is looks like maybe a Washington zip file for a state return?

No, it is a piece of software (waziperstateis.msi) installed by Intuit (located in "C:\Program Data\Intuit\Common\Update Service\......"). It appears to be related to WhatsApp. It is a marketing tool which supposedly allows users to send bulk WhatsApp messages. Not sure of its purpose in TurboTax.

If it were related to TurboTax, it would be in a TurboTax file on the C drive, not in an Intuit file.

If you look at my previous reply, it is located on the C: drive under an Intuit folder in "Program Data".
