Did the GenieWidget come with the Froyo 2.2 update?

All the sudden I can not delete the GenieWidget.apk on my phone. It's wrtten to the system file, but before I could because I installed it like any other .apk and deleted it when I didn't want it, now I can't.

Did you go to running apps and try to stop it first? Once stopped, you should be able to delete it right from the Applications menu.

I did, the uninstall button isn't highlighted. I cant click it. I installed it just a few days before the Froyo update, now I can't uninstall it after the Froyo update which made me believe it came with Froyo. Just doens't make any sense, I must of installed it like 5 times and uninstalled, why all the sudden I cant?
 
What I noticed was that after the update and after I did a hard reset, somehow, the genie widgets were there to be selected to add to the screen. I thought they must have added it to froyo as a stock app.
