few days ago here in my country a lot of our people, who use Skype for talks harmed their PC by getting a virus "Sandra" .It comes as dialog from friend on your skype list as if he made a misytake and were send some site address to see "what picture made Sandra"...when u open it, then virus spread to all of adresses in your skype are. And the same time block skype and pc too. Thanks fortune, I get this virus from my nephew. I thought he was reali made mistake and send me a picture of lady:) so I didn't open it just save dit in my pc. I saw, that there was as srenserver, so didn't click on Run it. When I asked for nephew about it, he told that it was visrus. This virus was meade abroad but addapted to lithuanian sites. So if somebody will receive something similar with address of net site and the same time pardon about it, be carefull and don't open it! Hope your pc will be safe.

we never must open unknown messages we reiceive. It was first time when i get such message. Here in Lithuania Skype is very popular , talks are free and taxes to cell phones also are low. So i think other companies use "black technologies" for breaking of popularity of Skype. Good luck.
