If you opted out of everything you were offered by opencandy, you shouldn't have had anything except ImgBurn installed on your PC.

 

There's no trickery on my part there, the script for the installer is pretty basic and all of the advert stuff is offloaded to the opencandy plugin.

 

If you really opted out of everything, maybe opencandy can take a look at a log file (if such a thing exists) and tell you why it happened.
