You can also put a block on the person sending you this junk and report them all in one simple step: Right click on the person's name (in this case "update registry"), then scroll down the window that opens and select "Block this person". Then an additional window will open after that where you can select "report abuse on Skype". Skype is great!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1229','Norsemanu'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1229','Norsemanu','Thank you, this is very good info, as I had no idea that this type of thing can be done through Skype... until this morning when I got the same exact thing.
