how private are chats on my pc?

They must be assumed to be seen by literally anyone, anywhere.  I'm serious.  There are enough people who know how to "hack" and go into unauthorized communications that you cannot assume anything you say on the Internet in any form will not be seen by any other person in the world.  If you make a rude comment about someone else, assume they will see it.\n\nThat's a fair warning for good manners.  And let the chips fall where they may, as it were.

Yes, Skype features a list of everyone using Skype through the search option. If you perfer not to be messages randomly go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy and change you preferences from there.

EWWWW NO!! First and most important you don't know who you are talking to, really. Second thats no fun I would like to spend time with them other then on the computer.

I would always assume that anything being sent over any public format is being recorded in some way. If you want to be secure then use encrypted email or maybe one of the programs that say they can encrypt a chat session. I've not used one of these as I don't run chat sessions but looking over the specs it certainly looks like it can do what it says.

Unfortunately, you'll need administrator privilges to change the security settings and allow messengers on your machine.  I'd buy your system admin some Starbucks and see they can't cut you a deal ;-)

only accept IM's from people on your friends list.  Look under preferences on messenger to do that.\n\nI can show you how to boot... just cock your leg back line up their butt n make sure to folow through with your kick.  Or you can go D/L a virus infected program n then destroy your own PC due to your own ignorance... either or I don't care.

if it happens that they are in a private pane you will not be able to see who they are chatting with

No chatroom is safe! Plus myspace chatrooms are pretty lame. \n\nTo add someone to your list just got to there page and in that box that lets you do stuff click add as friend.
