Windows 10: What program(s) installs Open Candy in windows 10?

What program(s) installs Open Candy in windows 10? Could it be Microsoft Solitaire that causes this issue? I realize some people and some other programs no longer consider OpenCandy a pup or a threat.

I mounted an image of windows 7, 10 using Macrium. This is the results of scanning the Macrium image windows 10 partition plus the empty partition using Malwarebytes


Files: 1

PUP.Optional.OpenCandy, D:\Users\Users\User name\AppData\Local\Temp\is-MCL9U.tmp\OCSetupHlp.dll,

This is the results of scanning the image windows 7 partition using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

No malicious items detected


Heuristic scanning was checked in all scans.

Candy Crush Saga on Windows 10

Hi . I'm trying to install Candy Crush Saga on Windows 10 , but it is crashed while loading and is not opened unfortunately

 

I have Microsoft Solitaire and it did not install anything extra with it.

 

What a mystery.

I don't think the pup is installed, because the OCSetupHlp.dll was the only file in the temporary folder. The cause still baffles me. I will just do another clean install of windows 10. All my other scans came out as No malicious items detected

Here what I have installed or tried to install on windows 10
Avg 2015 (installed but didn't work correctly)
7-Zip
Apple Software Update
DOSBox-0.74
Foxit Software 6.1xxxxx
Google
Intel
Internet Explorer
Java
Macrium
Microsoft Works
MiniTool Partition Wizard Free 9.0
MozBackup
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Maintenance Service
Mozilla Thunderbird
Opera
Pale Moon
QuickTime
Realtek
SeaMonkey

I have all but one of the software installed in windows 7.

 

Did some Googling and found this page reporting that dosbox-0.74 is using an installer that also contains OpenCandy:

Malware scan of dosbox-0.74.exe (DOSBox) 30b9298add2cd3a656ad9a6f19172d05edb4e91a - herdProtect

 

You may find its Foxit.

 

Yes, with Foxit you have to watch what they sneak in when you update the program.

Last time I did it there was some kind of Cloud something installed. I took it out with Revo uninstaller.

During the update there is no place to uncheck a box to stop it from installing.

 

Disconnect from the internet before installing foxit, so you can turn off the auto update. I thought it might of been free Avg installing there pc-tool kit. I don't like the newer version of foxit, didn't work to well on windows 7 but it might on windows 10.

 

It does work fine in 10. I also used it in 8.1, no problem's there either, except the little extra's.

10 does have a PDF reader in it but, I have not tried it yet. If it work good, I will remove Foxit.

 

I found a Wikipedia article that lists programs know to use OPEN CANDY. Foxit is on the list. Here is a link to the complete list. Hope this helps in some way. *Smile

Thanks for the link, great find. There sure is a long list. *Thumbs

I see Power ISO is on it. I tried to update it a couple of month's ago and it had all kind's of extra's
with it.

I tried it yesterday and it was clean. So now it is up to date and no strange program's installed with it.
