What about Analysis
Detection:PUP.InnovativeSystems
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).
Is OpenCandy there?

MKVToolnix installer doesn't contain OpenCandy.
