There's a virus cirulating in a Flash movie (.swf) that uses the built-in scripting language your Flash Player reckognizes (FlashScript to those in the know), it creates a file v.com and uses that to infect OTHER Flash movies.

So for a while, I'd reccomend you don't open any Flash files that were emailed to you...I honestly don't know if McAffe or Norton will even recognize this virus.

As of right now it, apparantly, doesn't do any damage it only reproduces.
