Ads popping up in Skype sessions? - GoFuckYourself.com

I am pretty sure I just saw an advertisement pop up, covering the contact list in Skype.

The thing I am not 100% sure about is whether Skype disconnected and re-connected, (my wi-fi signal likes to play hide and seek sometimes) making it something that happens when you first log on (which I still don't like) or whether we can now expect random ad pops in Skype.

That would really suck, since I actually pay for Skype. I lease a skype in number and also regularly buy outbound voip credits.

Skype is a big part of my daily workflow and random ad pops will seriously piss me off.

Anybody else getting these?

HAARP causes those.

"The inclusion of display advertising is the latest in a string of updates Skype has pushed forward these last few months, moving the company in the direction of an ad network."
