Hi All,
I've noticed that the HOSTS lines from Spybot are breaking Skype functionality - particularly multi-user calls.
Here's a thread on the MS discussion forum covering the effect on the hosts file:
https://community.skype.com/t5/Windo...e/td-p/4124233
One or more of these items appears to be causing the issue:
0.0.0.0 ui.skype.com
0.0.0.0 pricelist.skype.com
0.0.0.0 apps.skype.com
0.0.0.0 m.hotmail.com
0.0.0.0 s.gateway.messenger.live.com
Commenting these lines out and restarting skype seems to fix the issue.
Can the Beacon support team identify which lines need to be reviewed and removed / modified to keep Skype working? Not sure if this is the right place to raise it or not.
