Has something attacked Skype?
 
For the last 4 or 5 hours i have been getting almost non-stop phone calls from one of my skype contacts. When i answer, nobody is there, and if i don't answer i get a 10 minure blank message recorded on the answerphone service.

Attempts to call the contact back go unanswered.

Is there a skype virus or something around?

If you haven't fixed it already, I'd be inclined to delete that person from your contacts. Keep the details, and add him/her back in a day or two.

As keef says. Delete from contacts or blacklist them.

Owning a computer and being too lazy to install adequate anti-malware measures should be a crime. :cool:

Don't worry ZFT.

With their track record, they would probably loose your cheque / credit card details before they got to the bank. :ok:

Sadly, I think they'd charge your card OK, but leave the details on a train so that every scally around also helped himself out of your account.
