The Removal Tool detected uTorrent.exe in Program Files and Skype(updater.exe). I installed skype from their website and that was on 15.01.2013 so it couldn’t be infected. I think this is false positive. (I scaned two of my PCs and Bitdef. Removal tool showed the same thing. 2 infected files skype(updater.exe) and uTorrent.exe. Hope you fix this .
We are fixing it. New kit should be up in about half an hour. Thanks for the heads up.
I also scanned the files with https://www.virustotal.com/. and it didn’t pick up any virus or similar.
