A couple of very worrying examples of spam over the past two weeks. Text based pop-up boxes that have appeared from total strangers from the Skype icon in my Quick Launch bar. Apparently, this is called Skam.
Skype is an important desktop application for me. I use it daily to touch base with partners, associates and clients, particularly overseas.
A possible solution. Go to Tools - Options - Privacy. The default Skype setting for 'Allow Calls from' and Allow Chats from' is Anyone. Check the 'Only people from my contacts list' option. Then select 'Save'.
Hopefully, this will do the trick and banish the skammers from your desktop.
