Original message:
On last few days we see higher amount of crash issues reported to us by our users.
We have identified them to be caused by security software ThreatFire 4.7.0.11 which is causing Skype to crash.
We recommend for everyone who has ThreatFire installed and are experiencing crashing issues to un-install it until the vendor of this software provides solution for the problem.
ThreatFire has acknowledged this issue on their forums.
If you have this software installed and you are affected by the issue then Skype crashes few seconds after trying to send Instant Message or make a call. Crash will happen also when Skype is on idle and sometimes also on the program start-up.
Skype versions 3.8, 4.0 and 4.1 are confirmed to be affected by it.
On Windows Vista and 7 you will get Windows crash dialogue and possibility to report this issue to Microsoft. We recommend you to do it.
On Windows XP Skype will "exit" without any visible messaging about issues.
The crash will appear on Windows Event Viewer or crash dialogue with following attributes:
Application Name Skype.exe
Application Version 4.1.0.179 (your Skype version)
Module Name kernel32.dll
