We take the user experience very seriously, particularly when it comes to security. We are aware of some recent reports of malicious activity and are working quickly to take appropriate action to protect users. We continue to recommend upgrading to the latest version of Skype and applying updated security features on your computer. Additionally, following links - even when from your contacts - that look strange or are unexpected is not advisable.
