Also, I have searched my whole computer with three different Anti-virus programs and none of them found anything- not from EasybitsGO nor anything else. As I mentioned before, the Skype admin says they were no danger, despite installing without consent.

I just love how everyone got so up in arms about it.

"OMG, MICROSOFT DID THIS AND THEY'RE TAKING OVER OUR COMPUTERS"




Hahahaha

Microsoft hasn't even completly bought Skype yet, that'll probably take months.
But I do understand their concern, however, when they realise that a program they said no to still installed on their computer.
I mean, hey, I was worried too. I use Skype to keep contact with my friends in Ireland and England.

Complicated, I believe.

Edit: Damn it, Clockwork, go back to the Elder Scrolls IV thread and quit ninja'ing me.

Hell naw, I lack a life too much to be contained in just one thread.

I was wondering what the fuck that was, haha.
I un-installed it after telling Skype not to automatically accept stuff, and as soon as I did Skype asked me if I wanted to download it again.
It seems like it wasn't a big deal, but thanks for the heads up.

They say they've disabled it now. Not like it would matter what you told it, since it installed anyway.

Yeah, I think I recall seeing the thing in the Skype folder months ago tbh.

It's been fairly benign since then anyway.

Skype says they'e had a partnership with EasybitsGO since 2006, so that's entirely possible.

We're ruining for everyone. That's the only reason we exist.
