This Skype Error Message keeps popping up.

This message has started popping up after the weekly scan was done yesterday and have no idea what it means, where it came from and what to do about it. I don't use Skype.
Any ideas how to get rid of it would be welcome.
Cheers

Hello Malky,
Thanks for your reply.
 Have Windows 10 and use Spybot-S&D for the weekly scan.
Have never used Skype so don't know why this message suddenly appeared.

If you don't actually use Skype, consider uninstalling it.

From the Start Menu, right-click it in the list of applications, and Uninstall should be visible (it may be hidden behind "More").

There's an added advantage that your PC will run a bit quicker, as there is a chunk of Skype loaded automatically.

You can always reinstall it later from the Store if you decide to use it.

 Andrew,
Have followed your instructions and uninstalled it, and the error message has disappeared with it.
Thank you
HeatherR.
