Beware Of Skype Adware

Malicious "SkypEmoticons.exe" masquerading as a Skype emoticon pack was observed integrating with Skype to send messages to contacts and dropping multiple adware executables; the report lists MD5 hashes with VirusTotal detection counts, hosting domains and IPs, and a distinctive "TixDll" User-Agent used for payload downloads, indicating an active adware distribution campaign and providing IoCs for detection.
