FromDocToPDF Toolbar Contains Potentially Unwanted Programs

The website www.fromdoctopdf.com has a toolbar called FromDocToPDF that contains Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP). Potentially Unwanted Programs are applications that contain adwares, toolbars or web browser hijackers. These programs tend to be difficult to remove after they have been installed on your computer.

This is how the FromDocToPDF toolbar looks:
