For all Skype fans: http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/25.90.html#subj2 "The latest version of Skype (partly owned by eBay) is causing major irritations amongst web designers and users. By default when downloaded and installed it also installs a small utility unbeknown to the user. This utility effectively reformats any telephone &/or fax. nos. on a web page including adding a little flag icon and also embeds a link behind these to link to Skype."
