it's a common thing for this to happen...we trust the people who send us things but this is how we get stung...
I'll have to look up the virus also making the rounds that affect some youtube videos/playlists
Do you have software that can remove it?

Quoting from another group I belong to:
the other one is Actns/Swif.t
Don't get the idea that Actns/Swif.t was a hoax though. It is not, it just isn't in EVERY embedded video. AFAIK it was confirmed in one video but may be in others. Both it and Antivirus2009 are serious problems. If you want a way to scan embedded video links there's a (alpha) tool, Wepawet at the following page to do that. If you want to avoid the problem altogether get no script or flashblock and leave it on to block flash video altogether
