EBay’s Skype internet phone service said a virus that sends a fake chat message may infect customers’ computers. A computer virus called “W32/Ramex.A” is affecting users of Skype for Windows, Skype said Monday.

Customers whose computers are infected with the virus may send a chat message to other Skype subscribers asking them to click on a link that in turn will infect their computers. Skype said it has asked antivirus software companies to update their protection systems to stop the virus from spreading.
