What about Analysis

Risk:Medium
Explanation:Includes the OpenCandy software bundler that offers to install additional software and may include web browser add-ons and toolbars which display advertising (based on publisher settings and geo context).

It is fixed.

@polonus

MKVToolnix installer doesn't contain OpenCandy.
