Skype как Spyware?

An unreadable executable file coming from Skype sounds interesting, so I look at it. It’s 46 bytes long. For copyright reasons I can’t post the file or a complete disassembly. However, I can describe the program in terms of 16-bit DOS C:

code cpp

1. int main(void)
2. {
3.     fwrite((const void far*) 0xF0000000, 1, 0xFFFF, stdout);
4.     fwrite((const void far*) 0xF000FFFF, 1, 1, stdout);
5.     return 0;
6. }

It’s dumping your system BIOS, which usually includes your motherboard’s serial number, and pipes it to the Skype application. I have no idea what they’re using it for, or whether they send anything to their servers, but I bet whatever they’re doing is no good given their track record.
