   To be precise, it’s an invitation to get infected by visiting the Web site – similar to the malicious SPAM we all get and the browser pop-ups you get on infected Web sites, which tell you your computer is infected when it’s not.

   Your computer is probably not currently infected and there’s no way for a Skype incoming to know – just do NOT visit the web site mentioned in the msg. I just got the same msg a few hours ago and I’m going to report it to Skype as "abuse.

   I just got that message on Skype, and I am not running Windows (I’ve got a Linux version). It is not a valid message; definitely do not respond to it.

   Use combofix from bleepingcomputer.com, then go download malwarebytes from softpedia.com or cnet.com and use it, then clean the rest of the virus with superantispyware from softpedia.com or superantispyware.com, and for future protection use avira as antivirus and a good firewall such as Online Armor or Outpost Firewall.

   Thats no virus. Unless your computer told you that saying WINDOWS MESSAGE its a virus. If your antivirus program told you its a virus, its a virus. If anything eles your fine.

   Just got that message this morning. I can’t imagine that it’s legitimate or that Skype would have any way at all of know whether your computer is infected with anything. Now if you go to the website it will probably be a different story…I’m going to report it.
