When you received a suspicious link via Skype chatbox from a student, be sure not to click it. Some of the actual Skype viruses look like these:

Hi Dear my English teacher, I'm (student's name). Sorry long time no see on Skype... [link]
"hey [your name]"! advice [link]
(your company name) (your name) video: http://[link] :)

Some viruses recommend some type of diet pills, as well. If you receive these kinds of links, do NOT click it and report it to your company's Teacher Support immediately. What the support team usually does is, they contact the student whose Skype account was infected with the virus.
