Skype Virus Alert! Wanted to alert others who may have Skype so that your accounts do not get compromised.
I received a random message from a contact on Skype: "Lol is this your new profile pic? *insert fake Google page with Skype name here*" I try it, and next thing I know, I've somehow spammed all my contacts with the same message. If you did get it: Go to Advanced Settings, click Control other programs access to Skype, and then delete two programs that are listed there with four random letters/numbers.
Reworded the post to *hopefully* make more sense...

I do believe it is a legit virus. I've seen several different people on Facebook post about it. Granted, his wording could have been much better...

Yes, it's legit, been around for months. Things like that have been happening via AIM for years. TL;DR, don't be an idiot and randomly click on shit. Especially if the sender used a link shortener.
