Please right-click on the entity that is doing this in your recent tab and choose block.

 

Please never click on links that look odd, even from friends.

ok, you need to run another virus checker then.

 

I would Stop Skype and then try this, use the free trial version:

based on how to described it, it's a virus affecting a number of users.  It may not be wise you block the contact who sent you that message, as they are most likely victims themselves and no intention to spread the virus.  If your computer will become infected of this virus, your Skype account may end up sending and spreading the same message to your own contacts.  but still, never open suspicious files or links especially if they have been sent by a random person.

 

Moreover, please try the suggestion mentioned by a fellow user here;

It's still very important to run a full virus scan, please use the link I posted in my prior post here, since your anti-virus software did not sense this infection.

No need as more, my antivirus found that infection :happy: because that infection closes your antivirus. But now it`s all fine thanks :happy:
