Ever Since I installed the Skype, any phone number on the webpage will display the skype icon. Annoying things happened after that:

1. Clicking the number will automatically launch the program
2. if the number is too long, it will not display the whole thing.  You need to hover over to read the number (you cannot copy the whole thing)
3. even the number is short, it is hard to copy those numbers.  You could accidentally click the number (see point 1)
4. even you successfully copied the number, if you paste to word, sometimes it copied the number with icon together.

I finally put my foot down and uninstalled it. Annoying things happened again: you need to close all the browsers, no matter that page has phone number or not!!

When I used it two years ago, it didn't have that "intelligent" telephone number recognition capability.  I am sure there must be something I can do to disable that stupid feature, but I am a user, users are impatient, users are always right. I am so happy to get rid of this program.
