Websense says that there is a new Skype worm making the rounds (http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=MjMxMDMsLCxobmV3cywsLDE=) but other security experts say it isn’t automatically targeting Skype users.

According to Websense, the worm is capable of rapid replication through launching additional file-transfer requests to spread itself from infected computers. Websense noted that the trouble first began popping up on PCs located in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Korea.
