Annoying, unwanted Skype pop-up!

Which os?

I notice on Windows 10 if you bring up task manager (ctl alt del and click on task manager) it has a tab for "startup" that lists a bunch of stuff that (seems like) runs at startup.   Easy place to look...

Otherwise perhaps something like spybot-S&D or malware bytes might be worth a try. 

If skype is installed on your computer you could uninstall it and see if the pop up goes away.   Could be something it does as it starts.

Right click and task manager is there...at least on my Windows 10. Shortcut is also on bottom lower right menu bar...

 

 I had the same thing for a bit too...but just on this goofy site. Sure seems to be a whale of a lot of that on here for some reason. I run Malware bites, too.

Thanks guys. Yeah I've been all over, Ran Malware bites nothing. Can't find it in Undelete listed. Was on Manage Add-on's but I could not do anything with it.  Not showing on All programs list?  It's a Sign-on page that comes up at start up but I don't need or want to use it. So need to find out how to delete the popup?  Auug! :angry:

At start up of what?  The browser or the computer?   I thought it was computer but maybe browser?  

 

 

Good point, the computer first thing.  Oh and it's Windows 7

Do you have skype installed on the computer?

any version?

 

If I look at the Uninstall or change programs list it is not showing. If I go to manage your internet explore add-ons it is showing under Microsoft Corp File date as of April 12 2016? But all I can do is Enable or Disable it from there?

May have appeared with your Windows auto-update as pre-installed bloatware. I got 3 of those for skype on my new windows 10 updates from Microsoft. I just right-clicked and hit "delete these"....may not be same on yours. Since I did that, no more Skype hype...

I also have 3 listings for it but they are shaded out and I can't seem to do anything with them? Not sure if I have to sign on for it then delete once it's active maybe? Sure hate being made to do that! :angry:

Click on the round circle in the lower left and in the search type msconfig and hit enter. Go to the start up tab and see if you see skype and disable it.

Jim looked though them all. It's not showing on the lists. Everything on the lists shows a date of 2014 when we bought the PC.

Man it's seem like you guys are giving some good edvice just not sure what this thing is hiding or can be deleted.  Again, as Del asked. It comes up on the screen and icons on the bottom tool bar right when the PC is trued on and before I hit Goggle search.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
