Active X (or is it direct x?) controls embedded somewhere in the M$ OS can allow external scripting such as that within Flash to trigger them. Although flash & whatnot isn't supposed to be allowed to do anything bad in itself, it's these controls in the M$ that can be told to open the door and let in trouble. It's also how some sites seem to still have popups even with Firefox. So if you're on a Win OS based machine, even the Firefox might not protect you from that type of thing. Just something to watch out for. :s
