Skype Defender steals passwords

There is a new malware spreading which pretends to be Skype login screen and tries to steal sensitive information such as login credentials.

After user has entered username and password, malware displays a message saying that the name and password were unrecognized. Skype Defender collects the entered username and password and also all usernames and passwords which are saved in Internet Explorer, and sends them over to a website for collection.

Skype Defender can be removed by manually deleting 65404-SkypeDefenderSetup.exe. Eg. F-secure, Trend Micro and Symantec products should be already able to recognize and delete Skype Defender.
