Re: My skype sends messages saying "lol is this your new profile pic."


I've had this virus and i've found out how to get rid off it.

For Windows 7/Vista:

Go to the start menu and search for %appdata% then press enter. At the bottom of that folder there will be files which has random numbers and a skype thing. Delete all of them. If you can't delete one of them open up task manager. ( ctrl + shift + escape) Then go to processes. Then at the top of the list there should be a file with the same name. Delete that file. Now there should be no virus.

This is a virus sent out by The Hacker group Anonymous. They have hacked The Swedish Governments homepage etc...
Next commenter after that corrects (?) Wlille, but I don't think you're gonna be masters of illegal computer wizardry without scaring the non-masters. (And you know, decades along from my first fiddlings with computers, people growing up with them aren't much good at them.)

More flailing about from Skype users here.
