It seems that Skype is automatically installing crapware called EasyBits Go without informing or asking users for installation permission.
It's still limited in scope
New update lets you have a video call without having a Skype account. You can start a chat through a link and can use it at any time as it does not expire.
With the sudden upswing of video conferencing needs due to working from home, Microsoft has decided to add a new feature to Skype.
Very disappointing that a reputable company like Skype is covertly installing unwanted software. Hopefully they'll either remove it or at least give users an option not to install it in the first place.
Well i'm switching... ooVoo anyone?
actually I just got asked by Skype if I wanted to install an application to play games (not sure of the exact wording I just said not interested), just while I was reading this. So they do ask for permission...
Microsoft should change that hideous UI Skype has right now..
Why aren't they doing anything?
Sounds like Microsoft.
