I downloaded GIMP, then I clicked some additional buttons, then PCconverter was installed. It seems to be connected to Firefox. It is not to be seen when using Microsoft Internet Explorer. So I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox - it´s the same.

This program is not to be seen in a list, so I can´t find it to uninstall PConverter.

hello, you may have various malicious addons present. please perform all these steps:

  1. refresh firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
