A word of caution. Skype is one avenue for someone to gain access to your system. If you are on a large network I would call Skype a big security no-no.

I'm not aware of any major security problems with Skype. The audio signal has strong encryption, so it's highly resistant to interception.

Microsoft Windows is a thousand times more dangerous than Skype.
