I'm reading it now!
Not only it contains, as explicitly stated, the adware OpenCandy, but ESET says in this article that, in versions 4.1.1.14 and 4.1.1.15 released on December 2012, the file orbitdm.exe was added to Orbit Downloader: it downloads from Orbit servers a DLL library which gets a list of websites against which launch DDoS attacks!

About that Software Updater, it's not that hard at all to remove it. Just delete "SoftUpdater.dll" in the folder where you install Orbit Downloader but do it while Orbit isn't running and relaunch the program. You'll see the software updater is now gone from Orbit Downloader
Not only manages downloads, but in some way makes them way quicker than normal. Highly recommended, despite the updater that you cannot get rid of.
I like that updater, but still lack of accuracy. =_="
Lets you to download flash videos and animations quickly and easily... Great program , I recommend it.
Has some quirks, but for those of us looking for a somewhat portable app, this compared to FDM leaves less traces in the registry.
Newest update really pushes Internet Explorer. IE is integrated into the operating system and presents numerous security flaws. Do Not Use Internet Explorer. Get Firefox of Google Chrome.
