Virus Fears with Skype

Be careful what you clickThe coolest VoIP out there now has a PR nightmare to overcome. Tuesday saw a security update to correct a serious bug that could allow a Hackerlinks to take over a subscriber's windows PC. The company also advised that Skype could be manipulated when an infected vCard is transferred between users. The other vulnerability that was fixed on Tuesday could only be exploited in a denial-of-service attack, but affects the software on all platforms.

Both flaws were rated highly critical so if you use Skype (and I know you do) you need to take steps to make sure your software is updated.
