:dex:

The installer does contain OpenCandy, that part is correct. What is OpenCandy?
What's wrong is the classification. It's not malicious, not a threat, and most definitely not a trojan. It's simply adware.

just downloaded the latest version but Emsisoft Anti-Malware flagged it as trojan and quarantined the file.
i have already sent them the file for analysis as false-positive.
also sent the file to Virustotal and ESET also has it flagged.
i had downloaded it from dexpot.de .

can an author please respond?

thanks
