Skype Trojan Can Log VoIP Conversations
Slatterz writes "Security giant Symantec claims to have found the public release of source code for a Trojan that targets Skype users. Trojan.Peskyspy is spyware which records a voice call and stores it as an MP3 file for later transmission. An infected machine will use the software that handles audio processing within a computer and save the call data as an MP3. The file is then sent over the internet to a predefined server where the attacker can listen to the recorded conversations."

iDon't think so, troll!
Honoured friend,
Forgive me this unusal contact, but the circumstanes of perfection are such.
My name is Ringotha Dingo. I am an administrator at the European/African Internet Facility.
Through my work, and the unfortunate death of my colleage, I have available to me many unused and unencrypted, cross platform Moderator points. I would be most eager to benefit you with them; however, due to a revolution in my country I am unable to access my computer network. This can be arranged by my agent in London. Please contact him directly, and reference the small agreement that you might benefit me with so that I might flee my country with my wife and two children.
I am awaiting your abrupt reply. And will immediately have you sent an bankers draft by email if you will provide me with such.
All my good fortunes to you!

That would be LAME.
As usual, I see no Linux support at all. I've almost made up my mind to format and install Windows again. Damn those rat bastard virus writers! Always forgetting us lusers!
"Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it's there, and there's nothing you can do about it." - Charlie Br
I'm gonna call myself and play all my CDs through Skype. That way the RIAA will unleash their pack of lawyers on the scammer who illegally downloads all those songs as MP3s off my computer.
Nonsense. LAME ain't an mp3 encoder!
I've tried Symantec products. This could not be true.
If they wrote a virus it would have a 500MB install and you'ld have to click the EULA four times. It would take 90% of CPU and 90% of RAM while doing nothing and require 100% of everything for a couple of hours to update before it could do something. The updater would break and you'ld have to reinstall Windows, then the update prep package, and then the virus to get it to activate at all. And when it was finally working, it would break before connecting to its control server.
If you wanted a virus that bad, you might as well install Windows 98. At least the user interface would be similar to Symantec.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
