A trojan horse has plagued Skype users, in the same why in which they are spread through instant-messaging applications. The trojan is received when the user receives a chat message saying "check up this" which is a link to the executable "file_01.exe". Once the machine is infected the trojan will then send the same message to everyone on the user's contact list. Therefore, spreading very easily around the net. In order to remain secure keep an eye out for what chat messages you receive and be timid to click on links in your Skype messages even if they are from your contacts. [C|NET News.com]
