Hi Emilio,
If you are running OS X 10.6.x or Lion, running Software Update will remove Flashback if it is present.
If you are running OS X 10.5.x, download and install the utility on the following page:

How to use the tools:
1) Download FlashbackRemoval.zip to the Mac machine you want to scan.
2) Double-click the zip package to unzip it in the current folder.
3) Double-click the FlashBack Removal app to run the tool.
4) Follow the instructions to check your system and clean any infections.

Hi John, thank you for your reply.
In fact, i have mac OS X v 10.7.3.
So, do i need to run the sw update? Or, as you say, if it was present, my update sw have already cleaned this virus?
Thanks again.

... if it was present, my update sw have already cleaned this virus?
Yes.
It is a good idea to run Software Update periodically.
