Hmmmm, I like Skype and I've been using it for a number of years. Maybe you should check out [Microsoft Teams](https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software) and see if that works for you. It has full [interoperability with Skype](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-and-skypeforbusiness-interoperability). Best Wishes, -David Delaune

The Register article says
Quote:
the vulnerability is present in Skype for Windows versions 7.40 and lower. In October 2017, Microsoft released version 8 without the flaw, so if you kept up to date, you're fine. If you're running version 7, get version 8.
but my Skype is v 7.4x and when I click "Check for updates" it tells me I am already running the latest version.... ??

I'd highly recommend that you enable "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows" in your Windows Update settings. Otherwise would need to manually update by downloading the fixed installer from Get Skype[^]. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

Skype is a S**t. We regularly use Brosix. Very reliable.

We had lot of security flaws due to the app easily being not protective in chat environment. Buggy app Lync a.k.a Skype should be doomed.
