Skype HTTP server conflict Port:80

[tj@estreet.com]

Hey All,
This might be Old News to many of you, but I spent the better part of a week
trying to track down what I thought was a MALWARE issue causing all kinds of
trouble on our host machine.
Turns out... there is an option in Skype - Tools - Options - Advanced - Connection
"Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections" which is checked
by default, causing all sorts of nasty behavior right up until your HTTP server
finally fails to initialize. In short, Uncheck it!

Hope this saves somebody the aggravation it has caused us here!!!

I would even advise to avoid Skype...

Try googling for "Needle in the Skype",

Regards,
