Is Open Candy still bundled with Avast Free install?
« on: February 06, 2016, 06:07:14 PM »
Is Open Candy still bundled with Avast Free install?  If so can I get rid of it or do I need to re-install Vast and uncheck some option?  Thank you for your time.

avast doesn't come with any malware.
and OpenCandy is not malware but a PUP  >>  https://www.virusbtn.com/resources/glossary/potentially_unwanted.xml

avast PUP detection is default off, so turn it on if you want PUP detection
