SUPER video encoder contains trojan?

When installing super on someone's computer I got this message from NOD32.

Does anyone know any information about this trojan? Google doesn't really give me anything here.

Maybe a false positive?

My Thoughts exactly!!..

Never got a snifter of a trojan from Malwarebytes, SpyBot or Adaware on my system!.. and I've used SUPER for yeeaars!!!...

Seems to be quite a few reports on google saying that it contains a virus/malware of some sort.

Did you download it from the official site?

You mean that incomprehensible mess of words sprawled out over numerous webpages? You must be joking. I downloaded it from afterdawn.

Page 1 at the Bottom where it says "Start Downloading SUPER ©"

Page 2 at the Top where it says "download and use"

Page 3 at the Bottom where it says "Download SUPER © setup file"

Easy Peasy!!

Aaaand there's the problem.

Doesn't even look like it's SUPER that has caused the issue but something that has been bundled with it from afterdawn.

No I tried it with the official download link and I get the same result.

It looks like it contains OpenCandy (http://www.opencandy.com/) which is what gets picked up by MSE at least (only as a warning mind):

OpenCandy runs a moderated recommendation network that enables software developers to recommend other software during installation of their application they believe will be valuable to their users
