Brent,

If you want to keep using Bad behavior 2.0.13 here's what I recommended 
to Mr Awsome:

Bad Behavior 2.0.13 lists "shockwave flash" as a spam harvestor in  it's 
blacklist file. It also lists "wordpress" as malicious software by the 
way which I find ironically hilarious. Anyway, try this:

In your favorite FTP program, navigate to 
"wp-content/plugins/bad-behavior/bad-behavior" (yes, there's two of 
them) and download and open the "blacklist.inc.php" file in your 
favorite editor. Once open locate and comment-out or delete the 
following line:

"Shockwave Flash",    // spam harvester

I personally removed this next line as well. I never understood why that 
was there in the first place (but that's me):

"Wordpress",        // malicious software (yup! It's there)

Now you should be able to reactivate Bad Behavior and try your uploads 
again. Bet they work.

HTH
