new trojan; Skype Defender

23 10 2007

Beware of the new Skype Defender malware that imitates Skype (provides similar looking login screen) and asks to enter login id and password. It comes with exe file named “65404-SkypeDefenderSetup.exe“. When executed it confirms the installation and displays similar to Skype login screen and asks to login to apply new plugins. Once it receives them, it will give error message and sends your sensitive information over to remote site. Upgrade your antivirus or remove this exe file from your PC if you see it.
