Security experts have found a new worm targeting Skype that is harvesting e-mail addresses and directing users to sites that are hosting malicious software.
Once a machine is infected, the worm sends a malicious link via instant messages to other users in person's Skype contact list, according to F-Secure's blog. The link leads to an executable file that downloads a Trojan horse capable of downloading other malicious software, F-Secure said. It then shows a photo of a "lightly dressed" woman.
