Trying to uninstall Skype

Doing this for a friend, please bear with me.
She has not been able to use Skype for a few weeks, and has tried to uninstall and then re-install, but comes a cropper.
I've now got her laptop in front of me, and it has the following programme listed in the 'Control Panel' add/delete program list -
Skype Click to Call 14.4MB ver 5.6.8442
When I try to uninstall this, I get an error message, with 'Error Code 2738'.
Any idea what this means, as I get the same error message when I try to install Skype
Many thanks in advance

Try uninstalling with revo uninstaller: Download and install and then uninstall skype.

after posting my original message, I tried a system restore, as I noted she'd downloaded AVG a couple of weeks ago, and it has reset everything, and Skype is now working !
She said she'd done a system restore, but I don't think she set it early enough.
However, thank you for looking in, and thank you for your input Grandmaster !Baby-Mechanic
