I have installed on my PC the program called Skype. It was recommended by one of my friends like how is being the best one for long distance phone calls.But now that I donâ€™t have anymore need for it I tried to uninstall it. Somehow it returned back, have no idea how. So can you help me here to get rid of it?

It is true that Skype is one of the main programs for phone communication via Internet, specially because everything about it is free. First uninstall it the usual way: Start / click Control Panel/ double click Add or Remove Programs icon / find the Skype on the currently installed programs list and hit the Change (Add)/Remove button depending on the system you are using. Answer yes to all.
But then some things like files and registry entries, even you did your best uninstalling performance still stay on your PC. Select â€œShow hidden filesâ€ (Open windows explorer / tools/ folder options/ view tab), go to the c:/ Documents and settings/ Your profile name/ Application data where should be folder called â€œSkypeâ€. If it exists still delete it . Then go to C:/ Documents and settings / All Users / Application data and if the folder â€œSkypeâ€ is there also just delete it .
You could also download some Registry cleaner program like RegSeeker (freeware one) http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm and then in its option search type â€œskypeâ€ and delete all entries that RegSeeker has found, then reboot. Hope you managed and uninstalling the skype is no longer mission impossible.
