Trojan & ADEBOT - Dell Vista SP1 XPS420 infected by ADEBOT... Trend installed but didn't prevent infection.

Not to pick on Trend, however, perhaps to alert everyone to this.
Where does this crapware come from?
Read on...
=================================================================
Have a customer who's computer got infected with the following and it was a
little nasty to pry it's claws off the computer; I finally located a fix
using Google and that seems to have worked.
The only thing is, the customer had Trend Micro Internet Security installed
and it was up to date and they tell me they weren't surfing on bad sites.
they did receive a disc with some pictures on it. Regardless the A/V should
have cleaned any crapware.
Makes me wonder where the infection came from.
Makes me wonder about the usefulness and EFFECTIVENESS of the three year
program that they bought along with their Dell.
According to the following chart they should have been protected.
Here's what they had. according to Trend.
Adware Playteck

TROJ_BHO.SK

They also had an ADEBOT and here's a link on how to remove.
