It is difficult to write a heuristic anti virus engine. If attacking Microsofts security products becoms a common theme, it will give heuristic AV engines a predictable patern to detect.

Well I guess we shouldn't be surprised. Microsoft todate hasn't been able to create any of their programs that were secure. Funny that even their spyware software is open to attack. Totally pathetic and at some point they will probably want us to pay for it too.

Maybe I overlooked it in this article but did it say HOW the program GETS the trojan??? This is sort of important for people to know.
