I checked the program folders and didn't find it. So... I guess I don't have it installed.
So installing what I have installed didn't put it on my system.

Funny thing, that. I went to load COH and made myself a cup of coffee while waiting for the launcher to do its thing. When I came back, the launcher had hung, and there was a popup from my firewall asking me if I should let the (new-to-it) program Pando Media Booster access the internet. I declined its access, of course, and went promptly to Uninstall Files. It has an install date of today.|

I don't torrent and I don't play any other games online. I did NOT consent to this and I am not happy about it.
Ok, so how do I get in the game? When I click on the Launcher it starts to update, then it asks about installing Pando. I click cancel and the launcher gives me an error message, then quits.
Error Message:

If you continue to see errors, try restarting your computer.
If that does not solve the problem, you may need to reinstall the launcher.

I've had Liniage installed. I have STO and CO currently installed (and up to date).
So either I'm missing it somehow, avoided it somehow, or it isn't associated with those programs.
EDIT: I just checked, and I actually do have Pando listed in Control Panel Programs, so it doesn't really seem to be hiding itself in any way.
