This just happened to me. Luckily for me I googled before I listened lol.

"In a sneaky bit of social engineering scareware pushers are registering convincing sounding monikers as Skype user names and attempting to lead people to rogue anti-malware sites."

Thank god I have linux if I was ever stupid enough to go to one of those sites.

You're supposed to be classifying threads by their appropriate topic, not where they'll gain the most attention. You might want to consider moving it back where it was initially posted.

I just moved it here for members can be aware and proceed with caution.

I'll move it back now

I've never had a Rogue, RAT, or keylogger.
I don't download stupid shit, or visit malicious websites.

The only virus-type infections I have ever had are....
1. Powerbot, when it changed my hosts file.
2. When I was using my own RAT I tested it on myself.
