[nfbcs] Trojan aftermath: help needed.

[tribble]

Could you provide the name of this disguised program?
Ugh -- there are so many utilities, between windows, symantech and Office 
and all the other programs that run updates, it is hard to know when you 
click on a button what it will do or whether it is malicious.

I explained that it was disguised as an anti-virus program.  I assumed it 
was a Windows product trying to activate and learned too late that it 
wasn't.
