Virus of Skype

     The BBC News Technology article “Skype targeted by 'worm' malware infecting Windows PCs” reports that computer virus was discovered on Skype, and it shows "lol is this your new profile pic?" on an instant message. When Skype is started by the computer which has this virus, the message with virus is sent to user's contact list. When the user's contact list members opened the message, it downloads the virus automatically. 

     When I read this news, I was worried about my old computer. Skype is heavy-duty application more and more whenever it was version upgrades. Moreover, this time, it will be more heavy-duty application against hackers. My old computer is a low performance, so I do not hope that Skype is a heavy-duty application more. I do hope the latest version of Skype is light-duty application because I do not want to install old versions for light-duty. Furthermore, I cannot buy a high performance computer because I do not have enough money now. Therefore, I wonder a lot of money fall on my head.
