Is Open Candy still bundled with Avast Free install? If so can I get rid of it or do I need to re-install Vast and uncheck some option? Thank you for your time.
avast doesn’t come nor came with any malware.
Please follow the instructions and provide the requested log files.

Nope.
and OpenCandy is not malware but a PUP >> https://www.virusbtn.com/resources/glossary/potentially_unwanted.xml
avast PUP detection is default off, so turn it on if you want PUP detection
