How to Remove Skype
Skype is a free application that uses Voice Over Internet Protocol technology to transmit voice and video over the Web. You can call other computers with Skype for free, but will be charged for calls to phones. Skype also offers web-cam support so that you could talk to any of your friends using live video chat. However, if you decide to uninstall the application, it will take only a few mouse clicks.
