Several dozen minutes later, that strange pop up disappeared, and a new install report pop up appeared, reporting the successful installed program. There are survival craft, AND BAIDU. I was shocked. It don't want BAIDU. And the installed survival craft was just a small file to connect the internet.

Then I searched control panel to find installed baidu, but nothing about it there.
