How secure is the YM or Skype video call or webcam conference?

Question:

Answer: Reasonably secure. Skype uses proprietary protocols and its encryption is strong, but VoIP use has exploded and the hackers are onto it. At this stage they seem to be focused on using Skype IM. Recommendation, use a decent commercial antivirus and firewall. The weakest link in the chain is Windows, whether your using XP or Vista. Today the risks are low, that will change.
