Skype is not a viral or spyware-containing program, although it is possible (though unlikely) that people could send you viruses over chats. However, this risk is identical to that of any other communication client on the internet.
There have been a number of viruses specifically designed to target Skype users. Be cautious on Skype (and other IM's) do not click on links unless you are sure that you are being sent one. How they generally work is the message is supposedly from a friend asking you to open a link.
