How to Avoid OpenCandy PUP.Optional.OpenCandy is what we call, Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP). It is not classed as being a Virus, but you still don't want it installed on your computer. They have a bad reputation and behavior habits once they get installed. You may notice advertisement popups and your browser maybe be affected and have you redirected to advertisement site when search for something completely different. These PUP.Optional.OpenCandy program get installed without your knowledge, they are very sneaky in the way they get installed. OpenCandy comes bundled with many freeware software packages when downloaded from sites like Softonic, Brothersoft and Cnet. You can protect yourself in many different ways with different types of software. Unchecky is a great way to help stop these crafty installers. The first thing to learn is, only download programs from a reliable source. If the software you want to use has OpenCandy, be smart when installing software. If you install OpenCandy by mistake, don’t panic, but I would strongly recommend you remove PUP.Optional.OpenCandy from your computer as soon as possible? Remember to use a good Antivirus program and I would suggest you buy yourself a premium copy of Malwarebytes Pro and install Unchecky. This should keep you safe and free from PUP.Optional.OpenCandy programs. Here is a list of applications that may be bundled with OpenCandy: ApexDC++ ATI Tray Tools aTube Catcher avast!

  1. I use Unchecky,which largely eliminates this problem
  2. lol I al2ays watch out for these
  3. What i don't like is the fact that uTorrent and BitTorrent have these, whilst you pay for the pro versions. :/
  4. i just installed unchecky thanks
  5. I liked command prompt It's simplest and no need to download anything
  6. hey, i'm not sure where to post this. my friend recently installed IMGBurn and his computer got littered with these freewares. he apparently rebooted his computer and it booted up to a black screen. all he could see was the cursor on the side, and it was moving by itself. it was moving around, on and off screen, and my friend is just sitting there watching. i feel really bad and need to find out what to do to help him asap. please reply quickly. this is very important.
  7. Why the **** would avast put ADWARE in there AntiVirus?!?
  8. Wait... an ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM LIKE AVAST! is bundled with OpenCandy?!
    I don't use it but... RIP some of my classmates
  9. If I uncheck the boxes is it safe ?? To use then
  10. So... Unchecky will protect me from things hidden in Cheat Engine?
  11. I got OpenCandy installed with StepMania, but my antivirus detected it. I deleted those .dll's and I hope that candy didn't have time to do anything.
  12. Sadly i see several of programs i have downloaded :(
  13. Beautiful Dekstop/Background, Britec09
  14. Im Uinstall it 5 times and its gone!
  15. I had this but AVG detected it and deleted it, luckily.
  16. (installs cheat engine)
    ok no opencandy & notification
    (installs unchecky)
    (installs utorrent)
    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
  17. DivX tried to sneak in an OpenCandy installation without even asking for permission to me. My anti-virus blocked it as soon as the installer opened.
  18. Why the heck would Avast bundle ADWARE with their ANTIVIRUS products? As if the constant nagging to upgrade isn't enough already.
  19. The best way to avoid OpenCandy is to not click Next like an idiot. No offense.
  20. I read the EULA just for fun.
    And I never click next without unchecking everything
