    Hi

    I'm sorry, but your question is confusing. Did you install Blinkx on your computer? Or when you were trying to install Skype, Blinkx installed instead?



    Have you tried going into your Control panel > Programs > Uninstall Programs and uninstalling it?

    I've used Blinkx Beat for a while and definitely don't consider it malware - it's actually very lightweight. I suspect either you accidentally installed it, or rather someone in the household installed it earlier.

    The important thing to note is that the program comes in two parts - a program, and a screensaver. The first thing I would check is whether it's set as your current screensaver, and if the screensaver period is set to just a few minutes.
