Skype Virus floating around.

For anyone who uses Skype, be warned that there's a couple of viruses floating around. The one I avoided sends an IM from someone on your contact list with the note "Lol is this you're new profile pic" with a goo.gl link. DON'T open it. Unfortunately a few folks I know clicked the link.

Should you be unfortunate enough to get the virus you can get information on how to fix it on the skype website: http://community.skype.com/t5/Securi.../475395/page/2

As always, be careful opening links, even from trusted friends.

You'd have to be really, really dumb to click a link like that, even if it's from a friend.


Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

people do silly things all the time. At least I'm trying to warn folks.

I didn't click the links, but I know some who did. It happens.

Or inexperienced with viruses and the internet in general. Or just not thinking at that specific moment.
