Skype - hot pursuit

I will also note with my thought about what happened to Skype. So, intrigue-investigation scandals

If you believe the twitter user @ikotus , they and associates found a message to kill Skype tightly (“they found a line from which a Skype fell, and then it didn’t start” and 30 minutes later, “judging by twitter, Skype was dropped, we %)"). It would seem one client less. But, apparently, Skype fell victim to its own system of distributed storage of the history of messages - as a result, the cache of an ominous message began to spread among Skype clients of unpredictable users, tightly packing clients to the encountered windows users.

ps The funny fact is that the default Apache page with the words “It works!” is shown on news.skype.com .

pps A number of people as a solution suggest deleting the% AppData% \ Skype \ shared.xml file (under WinXP), the solution helps, but only for a short period of time, until the ill-fated package comes to you again. Setting the read-only attribute file to this file seems to cure Skype finally.
