    the new Trojan horse virus have the capability that it can record calls that Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls through the popular Skype service. Skype calls are free and low cost and can work between two computers so the virus is capable to activate itself within computer but your problem seems like some thing different.

    The virus was designed and released by Ruben Unteregger, a Swiss programmer who said he started researching on his own before turning it into a project for his employer, ERA IT Solutions. In 2006 the software company was reported by the Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung to have been working on a VoIP-cracking virus for the Swiss government, an account Unteregger said he couldn't confirm because of a nondisclosure agreement he signed for the project.
