Is there a security hole or something? from http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/53 " SWF/LFM-926 is meant only to be a proof of concept virus. It is only able to infect .SWF files under certain circumstances, when run under products that most people do not have installed. According to a Macromedia, you must have installed "a Macromedia stand-alone Flash Player or associated Projector executable to represent a risk." Further, "This player is not installed by any browser installation, and is only installed with the Macromedia Flash authoring product." " from http://www.f-secure.fi/v-descs/swflfm.shtml "This is the first virus of its kind. However, it is not an urgent threat as the virus can not jump from a web page to an end user machine during normal surfing. The only way it can succesfully spread is that the SWF file is downloaded manually, placed to a directory which contains clean SWF files and then executing the file with Shockwave Player SWF.LFM.926 uses the Shockwave ActionScript scripting system to spread. While infecting other files, it shows a display saying "Loading Flash Movie". " sakke -- there has been like 5000 acid house records after that and nobody made it like pierre, pierre did it in a musical way that followed the mood of the song, everybody else just turned knobs. - marshall jefferson, about phuture's "acid trax"
