With spyware on your computer, it doesn’t seem important to me which conversation tool is used (aside from easier exploitation of wide-spread tools). It could even turn on your webcam an microphone without any conversation tool just to watch/listen your inhouse conversations. Anyway, as Skype is closed source you don’t know what happens behind the curtains tho.
