Usually, your AntiVirus programm should find worms. Which one do you use?

Hello Matt!

Thanx for your reply. I'm using 'avast! Free Antivirus'. It updates its Virus definitions version automatically. A full system scan performed but no worms found. I installed Spybot and update. It found a couple of worms, names started with 'w32...' but those were not w32skyhoo.worm. Anyway I removed all worms that Skybot found. Still my Skype's sending messages. So sill my PC is infected with this worm, isn't it :(? What can I do?
