Skype application is not working properly

Hello experts,

I was using Skype for quite long time, when I try to open Skype all of a sudden I got his pop up message. It worked well in Xp operating system, but this happened in windows 7. Tried million times to uninstall and reinstall the Skype, but nothing magic happened. Also I updated my operating system and also updated my web cam and microphone too. Experts help me solve this issue.

You can also use IObit Uninstaller which will remove more left overs.
Be sure to download Skype from the official download page. There are other installer packages available on download sites which can cause problems. Avoid .msi installers, you can not upgrade Skype with them without completely uninstalling first. The Toolbar-Free .msi from Softpedia give me a lot of problems and corrupted Skype's installation. Just be sure to uncheck the Bing Toolbar when installing the official version.

The official installer allows you to upgrade without uninstalling your current version and doesn't require a system reboot.

Enjoy!! :D

Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458544

What is the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit?

The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is a utility that helps prevent vulnerabilities in software from being successfully exploited.EMET achieves this goal by using security mitigation technologies. These technologies function as special protections and obstacles that an exploit author must defeat to exploit software vulnerabilities. These security mitigation technologies do not guarantee that vulnerabilities cannot be exploited.However, they work to make exploitation as difficult as possible to perform.
