One more time a worm is spreading through SKYPE. Its detected as Worm.Skipi.a.
It uses the chat function of Skype to send a short message containing a link to a seemingly
benign JPEG file to other users. Users that click on the link will download and run a copy of the worm,
and start to infect others. It contains code to turn off several security applications, and alters
the hosts file to disable the downloading of updates.
