    Hi vpnavy,


    A bug? or it is not fully deinstalled?


    Microsoft bought Skype for 8.5 billion $ ! You do not expect them to let you deinstall their dear purchase?


    "my precious!!!"

    Well, you could try the famous CCleaner...


    CCleaner


    ... to fumble in the registry base... but it is dangerous. I only suppress keys in the registry base if it is absolutely compulsary to input a new program.


    How did you uninstall skype?


    uninstall skype


    Please, give information on your system, it could help.


    Regards,

    Thanks Lionet for the quick reply. I checked to see if it was uninstalled and the sub directory is in fact gone. Yea, I backed up my Registry and then chickened out removing all 16+ references. :) Decided it wasn't worth the risk of screwing something up. I might give CC a try - but figure I will just ignore the Vulnerability flag. Thanks again for your reply.
