All lies. Microsoft has all clear text.

Make up a new, random https URL. Something no one knows and no one would accidently hit. Message it to someone on Skype. Wait 5 minutes to see a bot from Microsoft hit your URL.

And another thing that worries me is if video chats between two Skype users do/can fall on the wrong hands. Could the video files be pushed to some of those porn websites out there as adult videos XXX????

What is your alternative proposal to prevent malware from propagating via Skype?

[woodman]

Don't? This is the wrong layer to apply the fix. Also, this method of spidering/cataloging would only prevent the most naively implemented worm from propagating.

[toomuchtodo]

Well thats disturbing.

[cturhan]

Anyone tried that?
