Skype Worm Targeting Everything/Everyone

There is a new variant to Skype Worms that attempts to spread by passing malicious links to everyone on the infected user’s contact list in AIM, ICQ, Messenger, Miranda, MSN Messenger, Trillian, and Yahoo.
If you receive an Instant Message from a contact and it includes a link use caution before clicking on that link!
As always it’s advisable that you have an up to date and fully patched anti virus program to help prevent infection.

Yet another example of why you don’t click on links in email or anywhere else unless you are POSITIVE that a)you know hwere it came from AND that it is expected, and b)when you put the arrow on the link, that it shows up as going to where it says it’s supposed to and that the link doesn’t have a lot of crap in it.
