I disagree! I don't believe that Malwarebytes is becoming bloated or going in the wrong direction.
It's a great piece of software that's going in the right direction. It's flagging programs to prevent the click happy users that don't bother to read the download conditions or uncheck unwanted downloads. EasyUS as previously mentioned has been known to download unwanted programs, in the main, TuneUp Utilities, Open Candy Tool bar... MAMBAM makes the click happy folks stop and think before they click.
@ignatzatsonic Go ahead! It's easy to get rid of.
Hi folks
Even Minitool partition manager needs care when installing -- there's a popup for some A/V software -- just refuse to accept and then everything installs normally.
I loathe systems that do this - and a lot of people if they just go click, click etc will miss these.
The only reason I kept this piece of software is that it is actually a decent tool -- but I hate this "sneakerware" being bundled with install - so always READ CAREFULLY any popups even when installing decent software from their main site.

That file you uploaded to VT is just the web installer. What happens when you launch that is shown below.
You could argue that it's a false positive detection but it's incorrect to say the VirusTotal doesn't flag the program. However it no longer contains Open Candy.

It's an old post. It used to come bundled with the now defunct OpenCandy malware.

Also the files dropped by installer for the latest version do not flag up 100% clean on VirusTotal but the downloaded setup file does. It's once that is launched that it drops files with just a few detections on VirusTotal. Once installed it is clean.
