Flash9 DoS attack on IE6SP1

Hi,

One of our users was effectively locked out of her Windows UI by a Flash9
advert on thetrainline.com for Dating Direct. The advert was able to take
over the whole screen preventing access to the task bar and start button.

I don't know if this would also affect XPSP2 or IE7.
