IRCbot
A new variant of the Trojan IRCbot, also known as Fanbot, has been uncovered by MessageLabs. It imitates Skype 1.4. If it is executed, the Trojan displays an error notice. It installs itself in the sysdir%remote.exe and stops shared access and the Windows updates. This is the first time that Skype has been mentioned in a phishing attack.
