Hmmm skype usually doesn't install this sort of junk.
Why are you using an older version, the newest skype is largely accessable to a point, you just have to adjust the settings.
Searching the net says you should reformat and reinstall windows.
if you get skype from ms site you will only get bing offers and its easy enough to uncheck those.

will it not just uninstall from add/remove programs? but if that doesn't work get revo uninstaller. i can send you a dropbox link for it if you can't find it.
to get skype and all your other favorite programs without all of those extra addons and tool bars and other crap you get, download them from http://ninite.com

hi,
The uninstaller isn't accessible. It says 360 total security but there isn't any buttons or any text there with NVDA. I tried it with narrator and it didn't work either.

The uninstaller won't do it, nor will Revo. That program is seriously locked down. You can't kill it's processes in task manager, or stop the services responsible for it, and since they watch the registry entries its startup entry can't be removed. You can't do selective startup with it disabled because it will prevent you from selecting it. And you also can't use something like Unlocker to delete the main offending files before startup. When I had that program I tried tons of different things to uninstall it. Finally I just started in safe mode and removed its files. I also found a list of the registry entries it creates with Google and removed those. Finally, you have to remove the now broken services, the shortcuts, and stored data in %appdata% and program data. That's a really annoying program to be stuck with.

If it's really that intrusive, try running a scan with malwarebytes, preferably in safe mode so that it will be able to remove its files for you.
On the topic of the uninstaller, you can try using NVDA's OCR plugin though whether said installer can be trusted I can't say. Usually, for these scam anti viruses, it's likely the uninstaller won't work, or will work only after you buy the full version.
