Bkis Blog » Skype – New target of the worm spreading via IM
The above blog has the details of a new worm (virus) that is being spread via obfuscated links in IM messages. I've posted about this type of thing before...
Remember you should always verify a link, file, image, etc. before opening it, even if it appears to come from someone you know. It's much less of a hassle to send a quick email or IM asking "did you really send me this link?" than it is to clean up the mess after you're infected!
