Does Skype cause viruses?

[monnee]

Probably could because anything can happen when going thru the internet.

My son has been using Skype for years. He does screen share and so many other things on it. Never got a virus.

Well I think your program might detect some other virus associated with Skype. See if there is someone at best buy that can help you find out if that is the case. I on't know how to set it up but my wife uses it all the times. It is a good way to communicate with family members and friends who live far from you.

When using any web there is always risk for getting virus but as long as you install antivirus, it should be ok.

My son and I use it to connect with family across the country.

I have had no issues with virus etc.  Grateful to have it.

We never had a problem with it....I prefer face time if you have an iphone....

I have use skype in the past but I have found something waaaaaay better than skype.

Skype is garbage. It is the same software since 2008. Nothing has changed, and other platforms are far better.

I have never used Skype and don't know how it works.

[missplaymate618]

I used skype a ton and never got a virus or anything on my computer.

[natashaspy]

I don't use it now but a few years ago when I had it, it never bothered my pc.  Don't think I ever got anything bad from it.

[Shaquaysha2210]

I still have Skype it doesn't catch virus not that I know of

[darkxtsuna]

some say it depends on the ads they hosted with the application.

I do not have now, but have used it in the pass and never had a problem with it causing  viruses.
