This sounds like you never had it in your Applications folder, but in a
DMG file on your desktop and when ejecting the DMG file in Finder you
lost GIMP.
Reopen the DMG file and drop the GIMP symbol from there into the
Applications folder. Check back by clicking the Applications folder -
if GIMP is there, then everything is fine. Run GIMP from there.

See Tobias' answer - we don't ship GIMP with additional installers nor
malware. It looks like Genio hasn't gone. Consider reinstalling OS X
and getting GIMP from the sites at www.gimp.org/downloads.
