Fake Skype installer
Security analysts have warned about another malicious software program pretending to be an installer file for the chat and voice/video program Skype. After fooling the user into installing it, the program sends the victim's Skype logon details, as well as any other logins or passwords stored in Internet Explorer, to another server.
This Trojan horse appears as an installer with Skype's logo and the name "65404-SkypeDefenderSetup.exe." Once the program is executed, users see a convincing Skype login interface, although the graphic for the "sign in" button is different from that of the genuine Skype application. The Trojan has been spread through Spam as well as through instant-message conversations with a link to the Malware. To stay safe, only download Skype from the official website.
