Trojan horse targeting Skype; Brad Pitt not included

Just a warning for all of you who use Skype out there- those 13 year old pimply faced hackers have found a way yet again to getcha through your IM. Skype is extremely popular in the audio world, so be wary of a chat message with the text "Check up this" and a link to a malicious executable called "file_01.exe" on a Web site. Bad. Very, very bad.

I got hit with something similar on MSN a couple months back, and you just don't know because it comes from someone who is on your chat list. Sucks rotten eggs, I tell you.

Be on alert, and pass the warning on! I might even go so far as to say, be viral about it. :-)
