Do people really use that?
It's not like you're gonna go "That guy just scammed me on Skype. I better trace down his IP and kick his ass" when he lives in Europe or something and you are just sitting in U.S.

Skype Resolvers are a way of finding out one's IP, or the last known IP of any Skype user. This is a huge privacy issue as this can attract very immature children who think it's alright to use other people's DDoS services to DDoS your Internet without knowing a line of code. How do they get is IP? They use a Skype Resolver. Once they have my IP, they can just merely pay for a "shell booter" or "DDoS service" and cause downtime for an unlimited amount of time until your IP is changed.

There is a tool in ESET which does it for when you open a program etc. Just use a Proxy when your on Skype?
