EasyBits Go.... From Skype a Virus..?

Is this a virus, false proportive, or a Microsoft scam, as I am really scared, I have looked on the internet and asked my Skype friends for help, but I still havn't found an answer, please reply as soon as possible, before my computer explodes :P

and P.S. It is running Kaspersky Pure Setup at the moment.

From what i can see its a community game thing thats installed automatically by Skype, it did it on my PC without consent as well. i had no problems uninstalling it from the control panel seems to be gone now with no ill effects

Edit
seems more like a worm is spreading i have been able to delete the installed files close down skype then go into task manger and stop the SkypePM.exe

then you can delete the Easybitsgo folder in C:\ProgramData (you may need to turn on show hidden files and folders)

To be precise, it's an invitation to get infected by visiting the Web site - similar to the malicious SPAM we all get and the browser pop-ups you get on infected Web sites, which tell you your computer is infected when it's not. Your computer is probably not currently infected and there's no way for a Skype incoming to know - just do NOT visit the web site mentioned in the msg. I just got the same msg a few hours ago and I'm going to report it to Skype as "abuse.

Sadly, no word from Skype on this yet except a vague forum post - http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=821491&view=findpost&p=3414177

Best answer I've seen is Jeff Duntemann's posts over at http://www.contrapositivediary.com/?p=1952
