I've uninstalled all skype from my computer. I do not have skype add-on's in my firefox tools. But skype information/spam continues to be added to the end of my emails.

Found this solution somewhere else: I think I figured it out. In settings, email signature line, at least in yahoo, there is a plain and rich line, you need to open up both and delete everything in both. I found the skype malware hidden in the one that I did not even use to write my signature in.

Yay! Problem solved!

Which mail service do you use? If it's Outlook, I think Microsoft owns Skype, so this might be something in your account settings now, whether to include your Skype contact number as part of your email signature. If it's some other site, you could double-check your signature to make sure it didn't get in there.

I use Yahoo and this doesn't happen when I send emails while using Internet Explorer. Only happens when I am using Firefox, which I prefer. I made sure it is not part of my signature.
