Hello people,
several times at skype occurs a spam from idealkiss, some advertisements stuff. A lot of users are attached to the chat. Do you know how can I avoided that, maybe some security setups help.

Hello everyone,

I too have been getting spam from asjhshhif456, wangxingmei713 and zhangbo12310 all from China inviting me to buy cheap electronics hardware, I have my settings to allow chats exclusively from people in my contact list, but yet every now and then I get these spam pop-ups and I have the latest version 3.2.0.163, any suggestion how to stop this madness.

When you receive an unwanted chat pop up you should obviously click the 'decline' tab but also 'block this user'.
Also, as Ike points out make sure you are running the latest version of Skype which is 3.2.0.175 ( not ...163)

This should be the last public Beta version (3.5.....) which can be found here.

Sorry I wasn't clear in my previous post
