Skype - Here, There And Everywhere...

1 replies
Hey Warriors,

I have just started using Windows 7 and installed Skype. What I have started noticing is that the Skype icons of my contacts on Skype are appearing all over the net whenever their name appears on a web page.

As an example, in Gmail Chat, if the contact appears on my screen and he is on my Skype contacts list as well, a Skype icon (online, offline, away etc) will appear besides his name in Gmail. I have also seen the icons on the Warrior forum whenever a friend or associate from my Skype contact list appears on the screen.

Clue me in ladies and gents!

Thanks,
Fabian

    When you installed Skype you also installed a browser toolbar that causes this to happen. It is your browser making the icons appear.

    I use Skype but I prefer to disable that feature.
