Hi,

I my office laptop running on XP, installation of Skype is blocked. Also I'm not able to download the software from internet.

So I downloaded the software from a different machine and tried copying it to my desktop. But during Copy, the software 'skype' got deleted from my pen drive itself.

How is this done.? And how can i get rid of this? Thanks in advance
