Skype (audio) snooping trojan in the wild

http://www.scmagazineus.com/Skype-snooping-trojan-detected/article/147537/

As the article notes, this is really a general function low-level audio
snoop, not so much a Skype-specific snoop.  Video snooping could typically
be done in much the same way, given an attached camera (though "camera
active" lights when present might give the snoop away in *some cases*,
depending on the specific hardware and driver configurations).
