I found this on our website.
The use of programs such as KAZAA, Skype, Morpheus, Gnutella, LimeWire, Bear Share, Emule and iMesh that are used to download music, movies, and games are not appropriate use of the network. These programs pose a significant security RISK TO YOU since you are allowing anyone to access your hard drive and computer resources to use it for possible illegal purposes. File sharing also creates large amounts of network traffic causing the college and statewide networks to slow down. Additionally, almost all files that are downloaded are copyrighted materials that are illegal to share and download. You can be prosecuted for doing such.*
Skype may pertain to bandwidth and not security ? As I don't know about the program maybe if it's sharing system resources then maybe their is a significant risk in the event of that requirement. Do you understand how it works ?
Otherwise I will bring it up when I get the chance.
