This is a good editor but it comes with a hijacker called 'Trovi' so be careful. Here is a little about Trovi. Trovi Search it’s technically not a virus, but it does exhibit plenty of malicious traits, such as rootkit capabilities to hook deep into the operating system, browser hijacking, and in general just interfering with the user experience. The industry generally refers to it as a “PUP,” or potentially unwanted program.
Trovi is an ad-supported (users may see additional banner, search, pop-up, pop-under, interstitial and in-text link advertisements) cross web browser plugin for Internet Explorer (BHO) and Firefox/Chrome (plugin) and distributed through various monetization platforms during installation. The browser extension includes various features that will modify the default or custom settings of the browser including the home page, search settings and in some cases will modify Internet Explorer’s load time threshold, place a lock file within Firefox to prevent competing software from changing its settings as well as disable the browser’s Content Security Policy in order to allow for cross site scripting of the plugin.
There's other things you have to decline, so be careful when you download.

I spent a lot of time to. I have Norton and Malware Byes. I ran them both; Norton found eleven things and then I ran Malware and it found another half dozen 'malicious' pups. Then I had to go on Yahoo and find another site to finish up. Its a nasty one, too bad to the photo site itself is a really good one.
I've found that many old and trusted sites have downloads with them that you don't want; two that I've found the hard way is AVG, yes the antivirus software site and CNet. I won't go near either of these.

In addition to malware bytes I also used one called hitman pro it has a free trial, to finish cleaning that nasty off my computer.

After I instlled the software, I made sure no malware was installed as well, and everything looks clean with this install.

I don't find the software usefull, Gimp is still better, and I know it well.
