Hello and thank you in advance for your help,
I happened to discover this active startup process (I disabled it). This program seems to be hidden (there's just an empty ActMask folder on my C drive). I am, of course, reading reviews saying that it can be dangerous and should be removed, but before creating any issues with document printing, I prefer to get some wise advice. I should also mention that when checking the processes in the "Task Manager" of W10 (version 2004), I also have "PrintCtrl 64bit," which also comes from ActMask.
Finally, my printer is an HP, and I sometimes print documents directly from Openoffice (this might also be where it comes from). I scanned this process with Avira + Malwarebytes and Windows Defender: no virus detections.
Thank you for your informed responses.

Good evening
Following my research, I have 2 applications that I see in system32 (PrintDisp and PrintCtrl) that come from a program called all2pdf (publisher ActMask): I stopped both processes, but shouldn’t I uninstall the two applications? And how should I proceed then? It's impossible to select them in Revo or through the control panel.
Thank you for your help, and have a good evening.
PS: in my opinion, they are remnants of the program that has been uninstalled (or malware?). -
Hello
I deleted the 2 programs PrintDisp and PrintCtrl from the system32 folder (not very scholarly, I admit, and I don't know if the all2pdf program left anything else elsewhere), but I still have a task on startup (Ctrl Alt Del) PrintDisp (but disabled). Before, I had as a note (in the startup tasks) next to PrintDisp -> Copyright 1998-2019 ActMask Co Ltd. Would it be possible to remove this PrintDisp from the list of startup tasks? (I've already run cleanmgr, scannow, and dism). Is it worth considering a malware issue? Thank you for your clarifications. -
not resolved but since no one has rushed to give any opinion, I remain with my questions
