  1. How about fixing it? on Why Does Skype Read the BIOS? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you could create an empty read-only file named "1.com" and place it here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Local Settings\Temp\12\1.com
    Then Skype would be unable to create the file. (Does Skype always use "12?

    -Or if your file system is formated NTSF and you don't use any 16-bit applications you could disable execute permission for ntvdm.exe. I saw this as a suggestion for stopping certain trojans. (I have FAT32, so CACLS won't change the execute permission, ATTRIB can't do that... I tried renaming ntvdm.exe, but windows prompty recreated it. I don't know what system process did that, or if it can be disabled.)
