Prevent a windows update from ever installing

I have downgraded my Skype from version 6.14 to 5.8 but windows keeps trying to run the upgrade back to 6.11 (a version that doest even work...). So I usually can keep 5.8 for a few days and suddenly when I shut down my computer it installs an update and the next morning I'm back to Skype 6.11.



I have tried setting 'Hide update' in the update manager, removed the updater.exe from the skype folder and turned off automatic updates in Skype, but it doesn't prevent the upgrade.



Is there a way to permanently ignore an update and make sure it never gets installed?
