 Post subject: Popup on Skype UI
New postPosted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:26 am 

I posted this under Other Topics a few days ago and didn't get any replies. Can anyone help with this?

An irritating and intrusive Dating Site keeps inserting itself in the Skype Interface and I can't get rid of it. Any suggestions how to do so?

I don't use Skype but found this: http://www.question-defense.com/2009/08/23/turn-off-skype-pop-up-advertisement-messages-as-well-as-skype-tip-and-help-messages/comment-page-3#comments

Go to the bottom of that page and click "Older Comments". Go to the comments by Bobo a little lower than half the page down. He tells you how to modify a setting for a language file that stops those ad sponsored pop-ups.

Dating Or Porn ? your address XXX.com is not working..

i think it's a Virus's problem.. Uninstall any newly installed Toolbar etc...

and do a full PC Scan in safe mode using Updated "malwarebytes"

can you post a screenshot of the Error :thumbup:

I don't think this is an undesirable site per se; the xxx is a substitute for the domain name before the .com and I certainly won't give them any free publicity. My anti virus and anti malware scanners, including Malwarebytes, show no signs of infection.
