Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
  • Right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator" the tool will open and start scanning your system
  • please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications
  • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
  • post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.

Is there a little up arrow next to the clock ? Click that and select customise
That will alow you to set them back on the bar again

I think I will report this to Avast as I feel that this may be a false positive on skype
