Examples of software that might install MacFUSE along with it: - NTFS-3G / Tuxera NTFS for Mac (driver for the Windows filesystem NTFS) - fuse-ext2 (driver for the Linux filesystem Ext2) - VMware Fusion (for accessing virtual disks) - Parallels Desktop (the same as above, I think) - MacFusion - ExpanDrive - sshfs
Reference: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/issues/detail?id=403#c6 If you have installed any of these applications then MacFUSE will be installed by them. I'm not aware of any Google software which directly installs it.
