"Web Browser" promt closes Skype

Last night upon waking up my laptop. I had this promt from an application titled "Web Browser". It said a program was possibly using to much memory and if i would like to close it. yes or no?

 

before even hitting anything. I went into task manager and went into applications and highlighted "Web browser. then I  hit the "go to process" option and it led me to skype.

 

Doing research I cant find anything on the "web browser" thing and how its related to skype.

 

But I did learn that IE is used with skype. has anyone had this ever ? I cant seem to find anything on the issue at all. I did scans with all my anti - virus, malware etc. And found nothing. My system appears to be clean.

 

Im just curious in knowing what this prompt was. Trying to find an answer on a PC forum, however i thought i'd post here if it indeed was a promt from Skype..

 

Anyway, thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Try to uninstall Skype Click-to-Call add-on. This add-on is using Web Browser Helper.
