    Re: How to prevent Skype Browser Plug-Ins from installing

    Sure i will help you out with this issue you need to follow few steps:-

    1. Download the latest Skype installation image, and execute it
    2. In the first installation window that comes up, click "Options" at the lower left corner
    3. In the Installation options window, un-check both browser plug-ins. If you want to avoid other potential future problems, also un-check the Skype "Extras", which are also installed silently by default and have nothing to do with Skype communication
    4. Also un-check the box for "Run Skype after installation"
    5. Complete the installation normally
    6. After the installation is finished, and BEFORE you run Skype the first time, perform step 3 of the following procedure, to disable the ActiveX control that Skype has installed despite your specific instructions not to install Browser Plug-Ins.
