[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 431583, member: 175057"] Any of you who use Skype and allow people to contact you or join the messenger chat who are not on your contact list, beware. There is a virus doing the rounds and it will disable any updates to your antivirus, plus send itself to everyone on your Skype contacts list. _http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/255518 _http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=79183 So as an interim measure and until all antivirus software is updated to spot it, don't allow contact from people who are not on your contacts list and don't click on any links in messages unless you have confirmed with the sender that he/she has sent it to you.
