Hi
I recently install the Pdf Pro100 App. I now want to remove it. When I go into App in my setting and click on uninstall I get a message 'Unable to uninstall' and the following message. 'Cannot find C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\AppMaster\AppMaster.exe'
Any help greatly appreciated.

If you Google the app name, there are suggestions for how to remove it.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1

Unfortunately it is malware and can be awkward to remove. It is possible that the uninstall file has already been quarantined / removed by your anti virus software hence the error message, or simply the malware is making itself difficult to remove.
Do a scan with your anti-virus package and see if that will remove it.
If not have a look at one of many guides already written about removing it:

And to avoid this in the future, just check twice before agreeing to install any software on your computer, a quick search would have revealed dubious the nature of this software.1 -
If the above doesn't work try using rKill which kills malware processes so you can run your anti-malware apps: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/
