The other day a strange thing happened on my new computer.
An EasyBits Go icon appeared on my desktop and in the ProgramData folder there was a new EasyBits Go folder.
This puzzled me as I'd never downloaded or installed this.
After a bit of searching on google, here's what I found ..........
It seems that Skype is automatically installing crapware called EasyBits Go without informing or asking users for installation permission.

Now to try to remove it.
