Update your Skype Application to Fix High Risk Security Issue

If you use Skype VoIP software to make voice calls as we do, you are advised to immediately download and install the latest version of Skype 1.5.x.80 released yesterday. The new version fixes a high risk security hole that can allow a miscreant to execute arbitrary code on your Mac if you are tricked into following a malformed Skype URL. Here is the Skype advisory bulletin. [Dana Baggett]
