Saw this over at IDG:

The Shockwave virus that disguises itself as a Shockwave Flash movie is gaining traction among corporations around the world, and at least one anti-virus software vendor upgraded the virus to "high risk" Friday afternoon.

The Internet worm which first appeared Thursday, arrives in an e-mail bearing the subject line "A great shockwave flash movie". When a user tries to view the movie attachment, the worm sends a copy of itself to all people in the address book of the user's Microsoft Corp. Outlook email program, potentially clogging e-mail networks.

Are you at risk too? Find out here.
