Skype - New virus

[Starzy]

Is there any harm with this virus? I know it drops like 6 .exe's in the system32 folder but what does it actually do? Aside from an annoying worm what harm does this cause?

At the moment I have no clue. I'll look into it for a bit.
Apparently when you're infected it blocks you from going to any anti-virus websites like Malwarebytes.org.

Yeah I read that too.
the infected PC cannnot go to security websites like: eset.com, malwarebytes.org,
my bet is some wannabe l33t h4ck3r wanted to see how far his little worm could be spread.

So does this virus come with Skype or am I safe?

Why are you unable to attain any common sense?
As long as you don't click the link you'll be fine, most people have common sense and will see that it is suspicious.

You have to go through a lot more steps than just clicking it. You have to download it, unzip it, then run the .exe
How do people fall for this?
