      Skype (classic) is found on my system in the following folder:

      • C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe

      Errors:

      • The installed version is not detected correctly (VulnDetect displays the version 7.41)
      • The version displayed in Help -> About inside Skype is 7.41.0.101

      Here is the version information extracted from skype.exe:

      Product name:      Skype
      Internal name:     Skype.exe
      Original filename: Skype.exe
      
      File description:  Skype 
      Company:           Skype Technologies S.A.
      Legal copyright:   © 2003 - 2012 Skype and/or Microsoft
      Comments:          
      
      File version:      7.41.0.101
      Product version:   7.41
      Assembly version:  
      

      So you should use the version number displayed in the File Version of the EXE file.

        I've improved it for some versions of Skype "classic". This currently requires manual editing for each version, but this will be changed

          I did 3 full system scans, but Skype still shows version 7.41

            @olli_s Did this not change for you? I also have the same version of Skype and that is detected correctly.
