SkypEmoticons – What Is SkypEmoticons and How To Remove It

Just a quick post on a program called SkypEmoticons. I found this bundled with another software download. If SkypEmoticons showed up unexpectedly on your machine, you may also have installed it as a bundled offer.

I uploaded the main file of SkypeEmoticons, SE.exe, to VirusTotal to see if the anti-virus scanners reported it. Only one of the anti-virus tools detected the SE.exe file, and that was Tencent, which reported the SE.exe file as Win32.Trojan.Falsesign.

If you’d like to uninstall SkypEmoticons, you can simply check the SE.exe file for removal in FreeFixer:

skypemoticons startup skypemoticons se.exe process

Or uninstall it from the Add/Remove programs dialog:

skypemotics uninstall

Did you also find SkypEmoticons on your machine? Any idea how it was installed?
