Antivirus 2008/2009

Hello!

I just ran into my third new client with "Antivirus 2008" or "Antivirus
2009" rogue malware infection on an XP computer. The first to get hit had
Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 9.x on it, the second had McAfee that
came with the computer, the third has Dell's Trend Micro PC-Cillin 2008. All
three had the latest antivirus definitions. I can see the SAVCE system and
McAfee getting hit, as neither blocks malware/spyware, but Trend PC-Cillin
Internet Security 2008 is supposed to block it.

What is its attack vector?

Does anyone know of consumer AV software that actually prevents this thing
from installing?

Thank you!

Gregg Hill
