VideoDownloadConverter Toolbar Contains Potentially Unwanted Programs

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

I do not recommend installing the VideoDownloadConverter toolbar.
