Sooo... Opencandy? Is it virus?

[The Legend of Derpa]

So I was browsing the internet, and then, a popup pops out from nowhere. I am like "wtf" and then I wonder if I have a virus, I did a full computer scan on AVG, and some thing called "Win32/OpenCandy" is found. I'm like, "my computer is forgeted my computer is forgeted" and another loving popup comes up. Sooo... I need help. Please? :c

A simple google search and some quick research(about 30 seconds worth) brought me to this.
Next time, the first thing you do is search google.

OpenCandy - "OpenCandy from SweetLabs, Inc.,[1] a company based in San Diego, is an advertising software module consisting of a Microsoft Windows library that can be incorporated in a Windows Installer. When a user installs an application that has the OpenCandy library, there is an option to install additional software that it recommends (based on a scan of the user's system and geolocation).[2][3]"

It's not an exact virus, but it is an intrusive software that you downloaded.
