Noticed my internet connection was active for some time and went to investigate using Windows 7 Resource Monitor.
Please look at screenshot or look below.
No calls or conversations were active.
For those who can't see properly, the image shows:
11Kb/s send
11Kb/s recieve
shows saix IP address to which 11Kb/s is sent too.
This makes me wonder if my PC was used as a node to relay a skype call.

Some peer-to-peer designs allow for the user to control whether their node is a supernode; others do not. For example, Skype by default is configured as a supernode, an issue that has caused controversy. Despite criticism, Skype has contended that supernodes on their network act only to maintain information about who is online at a given time, and are not used to route calls between users.
