Apologies if you've read this elsewhere and I am merely burdening you with more info but if you have Windows and run Flash you may like to take a look at this:

Malware hunters have spotted a previously unknown — and unpatched — Adobe Flash vulnerability being exploited in the wild.

The zero-day flaw has been added to the Chinese version of the MPack exploit kit and there are signs that the exploits are being injected into third-party sites to redirect targets to malware-laden servers.

Technical details on the vulnerability are not yet available. Adobe’s product security incident response team is investigating.

More at the link.

I don't know if this makes a difference but Firefox (I have 3.0b5) has an add-on which allows you to block Flash on a page but gives you the ability to activate it by simply clicking on an icon.
