Procrastination is an evil... they say. We delay tasks which needs to be done now, thinking "aahh.. will do later, i am having lots of time", where from one aspect this habit can cause serious implications but again this habit can be a boon too... how? Read on...
Most of us use Skype for daily communications mostly in office scenario and my organization is no different. But of late, theres these mass virus on skype pretending to be sent from your skype contact with text like:
Your Funny pic.. Hohoho
check out... bitly.com/12345
And once you click this malware, it silently installs nasty programs like keyloggers which records your keystrokes etc.
During the initial days of the virus even I received alerts like this but I procrastinated thinking that "aahhh... interesting pic, will check later, anyway it will be in my chat history", but eventually forgot to check the link and voila!! I was not affected by the virus!! Yeah!
So dear all... Technically procrastination is good.. :P
but this doesnot include the emails... you still need to respond to emails and urgent chats on time...
To all who are affected by this virus... CHANGE your skype password first... then search google for a solution., (sorry even I am not having a solution right now, but will provide as soon I come across one...)
Guys, another thing.. we have viruses related to almost everything Microsoft... Windows OS, Win Mobile OS and now Skype??? weird..
Have a great weekend! Happy skype'ing.
