Whether they are drawn by the free Internet phone calls or seek to take advantage of the program's other features, such as Instant Messaging (IM) and video conferencing, Skype has generated a large following of loyal users ever since its inception in 2003. But one of the unfortunate downsides to the program (as with many Internet-based services) is the proliferation of spam and other unscrupulous "offers."

These unsolicited messages are annoying at best; at worst they can hinder productivity (if the service is being used for business purposes) and expose unsuspecting users (especially underage ones) to inappropriate images and ideas.

A user can stop Skype spam by either declining chat requests, blocking specific Skype users, changing the privacy settings, and finally changing the user status. Below is an explanation on how to use these methods to avoid spammers when using Skype.
