    Skype will only do this if authorised by you.
    Even then the normal downloads are upgardes unless they are files sent by another party.
    If your company has a comprehensive anti-virus system and competent IT department then this isn't an issue at all.

    I don't need to stop Skype updates etc, but files sent by another party.

    So don't accept them, as they do not download automatically, but need user intervention.
