It’s true – Skype works . I spoke to my brother in Aus and the line was crystal clear – no issues at all. I recommend it for free calls to other skype users. No hassle to install, and after running a scan with Ad-aware I found no nasties related to skype, although I have picked up the welchia worm. AVG is removing that now…. no it’s not – Ad-aware will have to do it.
