Its getting out of hand, The skype virus have showed up like 1/2 a week ago, atleast that's what i've heard and a lot of people still fall for it. There is atleast one guy in your friendslist who's got it most likely. The skype virus sends you a message through the person's skype account with the message whether this is your new profile pic +link. If you press that link you get infected and it's a nasty one. It has a keylogger and a virus that crashes your pc afterwards. Just messaging here to get you guys aware of the virus before clicking links.
Wow mainly has quite some skype users and it's been circling around them. Don't click weird goo.gl links. Links in general.
Thanks for the heads up, didn't know there was one. Though I'm not surprised, I remember the same thing happening with ICQ when I used that, and then MSNM when I used that. But if a swede writes to me in english, it's pretty much a heads up.
someone on my list sent me this today, I clicked on the link and it downloaded the zip file, although I didn't click on the exe file inside, as I realised that it wasn't a picture and thought my friend was being a douche and trying to virus me. So as I haven't clicked on the exe I'm not infected right?
If you get the virus, I'd just system restore to an earlier date, or something.
EDIT: Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Mange other programs access to Skype --> Remove anything that may seem suspicious
Download avast or any other anti-virus software (Let's not use AVG or Microsoft Essentials, as those two kind of suck). Avast /should/ be able to pick it up.
If you don't feel like going through this, THEN I'd recommend system restoring.
