Then I realised my other computer running an older version of Skype was not getting these messages. Hmmm.. so I removed the latest skype and installed version 3.8.0.188. Now no more spam!!

I remember when skype first came out I would actually get spam calls from people on the other side of the world speaking some language I didn't have a clue about. Ha!

Or is it a spam from a completly new contact? In msn messenger, you some time get spam(probably malicious) messages from people on your contact list(even though they didn't really send you that). I suppose it is some kind of a virus or malware in your friend's computer. However, in msn messenger you are required to approve any new person that tries to add you as his contact. So I don'k think you can get spam from new contacts. As far as I recall. Maybe you need to turn on approval for new contacts in skype? Does this spam comes from one of your known contacts? Or is it a spam from a completly new contact?

They sad something I couldnt understand and then laugh for 20 seconds before I canceled the connection. With this few number it isnt annoying,yet.
