    there's a virus spreading around on skype.
    If you get a message from one of your contacts with a message like the one below, IGNORE it and do NOT click on the link they send.
    Do you think I should go out with them? or just ignore their calls? http://s24.secretfilehost.com/archive/5672317/PartyPic024.JPG

    or like this :

    The link will download a zip file with the virus and if you open it up, your PC will get infected.
    I scanned this file with the following results:
    scanresult.jpg

    The zip file contains the following file :
    Code:
    PartyPic024.JPG_www.secretfilehost.com

    I scanned that too with the following results (just to be sure) :

    As you can see, none of those AV programs detected this.
    The virus will send that link to all your skype contacts with similar messages.

    So if you get a similar message on skype with a link, DO NOT CLICK on it!

    did Avira detect it ?
    anyway I uploaded that file to the following AV sites :

    Norton, Avira, Kaspersky, Avast, Bitdefender.

    Couldnt find upload or email info for the other major AV providers.
