Adobe's Flash worm nuking MySpace users

It is an Adobe FLASH program that is hosting the malicious worm (not IIS or JavaScript) and an Adobe Flash programmer launched it to infect MySpace. Many Myspace users will then abandon MySpace for other social networking sites, some of which Adobe has launched:

It's not MySpace's worm...and it's not Macromedia's worm. It is an Adobe security flaw that they know about. Adobe bought Flash from Macromedia and have turned it into an advertising screen spamming program...and this worm is demonstrating that Adobe's Flash is insidious. I'm removing it from my machine and will never let it load again..

Adobe is now just a large global corporation that is now catering to other large global corporate interests....many of whom are successfully taking a dollar here and a dollar there from our kids lunch money.

Whether it is selling a ring-tone for a buck or selling a MP3 single on a social networking site...it has become all about taking our kids' lunch money a buck at a time while the kids are at school or over at the neighbor's house. This Adobe Flash worm is all about money.
