I've seen it in many other items. It's not considered malware at least.

The Win32/OpenCandy appeared with me as well. It was quarantined, and I removed it, however the upgrade to TechTracker 2.0.3 did not download. What shud I do now?

It's up to you but you should find it in a lot of downloads today.

Is it safe to just ignore it, rather than quarantining/removing it, as this seems to be the only way I can upgrade TechTracker rt. now. AVG seems to automatically quarantine it, so how can I download the upgrade?

This is actually the first time I've encountered it. Can someone explain what it is?
