Is anyone else getting Actns/Swif.T detected when opening a lot of embeds? I've tried this on several different machines, one of which is absolutely never used, so it seems to be something within the embed and not a local infection.

Its a virus that is designed to bypass IE explorer add blockers, and redirects you to a Phishing attack site.
Seems to affect IE explorer the most.
Most of you tubes embeds are infected.
This one just broke out today, it installs Antivirus 2009, bogus software (mal ware).
