HAHAHA yer right Joe, why would I need to add a patch to my skype contacts. Duh.. HAHAHA







Malware. Block them and report them to Skype.

Sure looks like a scam to me.
I can’t imagine what kind of patch / malware scan / repair would require you to add a Skype contact.
Skip it, and congratulate yourself on spotting the scam.
it sounds like a scam to me
your protection software should include antiviral protection and spyware protection, offers system guards, and windows protection. should automatically update it’s virus and spyware databases and offers a firewall. and should offer the same protection for email and instant messaging
if you already have good computer protection software then my suggestion would be just close your browser. sometimes this scam won’t let you do anything until you buy their software
I think this is a scam. I got it and i’m on a mac!
