Skype has learned that a computer virus called "w32/Ramex.A" is affecting users of Skype for Windows. Users whose computers are infected with this virus will send a chat message to other Skype users asking them to click on a web link that can infect the computer of the person who receives the message. The worm is also known as "WORM_SKIPI.A (Trend)," and "W32/Pykse.worm.b" (McAfee). When a Skype user receives chat message with an internet link - either from Skype contacts or users not on the contact list - and download the .scr file covered as .jpg picture, the worm will install itself to the system and create several startup keys in the registry. Currently, F-Secure, Kaspersky Lab and Symantec have already updated their antivirus products to detect and remove the worm. Expert users who know what they're doing can also remove the worm manually, by following this guide.
