Heres the way this virus works.
The source account of the virus adds random people on Skype and sends them phony links asking something about an old image. They send you a link to the so called "Image". It downloads a .ZIP folder and when you extract it to see this so called "Image" it'll launch the virus and it'll hijack your Skype account. Then it uses your Skype account to spread the virus further, And further, And further. I've had one of my friends get the virus and I got the message every hour of everyday. So I decided to remove him.
