Short piece of advice: DON’T!

It’s a scam. To check for updates, run Skype and click on About >> Check for updates. Install this piece of garbage and you’ll end up with Heaven knows what on your machine.

It cracks me up how these people who can’t speak English or send out non-spell-checked emails still get idiots falling for it!
