Virus removal

[Tolaras]

Hello.

My skype seems that has a virus. It sends automatically a link to all my contacts. 
The link is like this: [invalid URL]&watch=...... (I removed the last 6 digits for your security) 

Unfortunately I hadn't succeeded yet in removing the virus. Does anyone knows the name of the virus or a specialized removal tool for this?

Thank you in advance.

I had already checked this post for mdm.exe but I can't locate it on my pc..

I 'll check now the other link that you gave me.

Thanks!

Ok.  Mdm.exe was just one piece of malware a user found.  The security forum at DSL Reports will help you throughly disinfect your machine.

Good luck.
