A Skype™ Trojan InfoStealer

Since some days ago on the Internet there's a news regarding a trojan for Skype™, this malicious software is defined also as a Trojan InfoStealer, the file name should be "65404-SkypeDefenderSetup.exe" and it is delivered by E-Mail or instant messaging softwares, at the first look it seems a normal Skype™ plugin but once executed it shows an access window with username and password like the Skype™ one, all the expert pc users will immediately notice that it isn't the true Skype™ login screen but a fake.
The dirty work of this trojan is, by the news I read on the net, to "steal" the passwords stored by Internet Explorer and also the user data of your Skype™ account and then send everything on a Russian server.
Other more detailed news directly from the Skype™ bullettin at this link.
Happy Halloween to everybody!
