Skype (windows) virus and how to eliminate it

    Right now, with incredible speed, the viral file " YOUR-MOTHER-NAKED-hahahaha.pif " is being sent via Skype . If you inadvertently opened it, then it was automatically sent to all users from your contact list.
    Here are the steps that will help to remove the infection:
    1) Restart the computer and go into Safe Mode ( F8 at boot)

    6) Clear the Recycle Bin (if deleted files not via Shift + Delete )
    7) Go to the registry editor ( Start -> Run -> regedit and press Enter). Next, look for HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Run and delete the entry with the name winservice
    8) From the C: / Windows / Prefetch folder, delete all files that start with three digits and end with the .pf extension (for example:834.exe-8448tthurdd895.pf) , as well as mother-nude ... ..exe-ggjoret590gu.pf and other files that contain the words type nude , naked , etc.
