True. The RISKS posting seemed to imply that Skype was actually messing with your pages. However, http://is.gd/61Ph8 seems to say that this is just a Skype plug-in, and it modifies any pages you view (on the fly). Other people have been saying that this has been an optional plug-in: I'm wondering if it has suddenly become default if you install Skype. (There was also a mention that older versions could crash IE, and that you *should* upgrade to the latest version.) Needs some research, I'm thinking, and I'm scared enough of Skype as it is ... ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it. - G.
