So much trouble just to uninstall it, and the hell windows let it install itself by installing other program.

Lots of crap installs in that way. They go to people releasing freeware programs, and say "Include us in your download and we will pay you." Unless you do custom installs and untick all those optional programs, this will happen with various crap.

Yup, it's how "free" software makes money, by partnering with companies that pay money for their crap software to be bundled with the legit program.

When you install some programs, there comes some other programs with it too. If you don't notice you install them easily. I use the program "Unchecky" It prevents to install the other, unwanted programs.

Though a lot of Chinese like to use Baidu, it's a really bad company in fact. I am a Chinese, but I never use any product of Baidu.
If your computer have installed one of its programs, several days later all of its products will appear in your computer.
You'd better delete these Baidu programs as soon as possible.
Maybe you have downloaded and installed any program from a strange website recently.
Google: Don't be evil. Baidu: Always be evil.

Number one rule to avoid those: When downloading softwares, don't go through the agreement just by repeatedly clicking "agree". Read at least what is the agreement for. Often, it'll ask you if you agree to install addons and programs which could potentially affect you browser or computer negatively. More often than not, clicking "I disagree" will skip the installation process of said addons and programs, and carry on to the software installation.

Scan with adwcleaner, malwarebytes, Spybot search & destroy and, for a second opinion, hitman pro (30 days trial).
That's what I did, My brother's girlfriend installed a free game and acepted all those filthy terms and conditions while installing. Now this little bastards are hidden there. You must read carefully. Not all the terms and conditions are for the software you downloaded.
Anyways, avoid any free stuff. That's free, but they make money with those "legal virus".
(Sorry for my bad english)

Lastly Is it a safe program?
