Hmm, I'd want to hear more details than that before I went freaking out, I just had a look at the source code, and I don't really know what I'm looking at, but I didn't find any definitions for NVDA+Q like there were for all the listed commands. What's the security issue? Is it going to automatically accept malicious files and click on links from some user designated by the developer? Or unintentionally allow a random hacker to do so, or what? I'm always suspicious when I hear such vague warnings with no real details, just like I am with those email forwards not written by a known antivirus provider, telling me about some vague unnamed virus that's going to wipe out all my files and destroy sector 000. Is the source of this news reliable? Is he or she a programmer familiar with creating NVDA adons? I don't speak Italian, but could probably get the gist of the message with google translate and my knowledge of other Latin languages. Could you post the original message here? Shawn Klein

Hello, I just received a message on my italian list saying that the NVDA addon for Skype has got security issues, and possibly NVDA+q has another function. It's recommendable not to publish it too much from now on. The developer has already been informed on it. Bye!
