Friends, it's fine. Don't worry about randomers listening to your Skype convos. Microsoft has tweaked an FAQ a bit

Re: Old Codger

Yes, it is just you. Most people have conversations that aren't of much interest to state actors. Your life may be different, but most conversations I have in a closed room are in the real expectation that they probably aren't been listened to. I almost never make arrangements to meet someone in a busy park, with a code word and background noise for cover. I've never, ever changed clothes to sweep them for bugging devices.

Is it your career in international espionage that makes you think differently?
