Is this for real? Would a warning like that not be on Skype's homepage?


Just received this warning from a friend: Be careful on this , If someone by the name of Mark Genesis Gallardo (rugbylegend) wants to add you to their list, don't accept it. It's a virus. Tell everyone on your list because if somebody on your list adds them you will get it, too. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus. Please pass this on to everyone on your list. We need to find out who is using this account. . Right click on your group name of your buddy list and click Send Message to all. Copy and paste
