lol is this your new profile pic? http://goo.gl/[REDACTED]?img=[USERNAME]
Once a user click on the link provided,it leads to a zip file for downloading called 'skype_08102012_image.zip'
The zip file contains an executable file detected as Troj/Agent-YCW or Troj/Agent-YDC by Sophos anti-virus.This trojan opens a backdoor on the computer where it has been executed and allow the hacker to have control on the computer via HTTP.
Skype users are less in contact with such worms and thus can easily believe in this fake 'profile picture' thing.
