First time to see MBR rootkit in the wild

Just wanted to share as I am a little bit excited after seeing this. One of my friends asked to see his PC that seemd to be infected and slowed down like a snail. It was ahving Symantec corporate AV installed and was detecting some malware plus a rootkit.

I tried Antivir and it detected Mebroot( MBR Rootkit). Same with Gmer and Dr.Web Cureit.

LAptop is running Vista Home( UAC was probably disabled). I have asked him to reformat and do a fesh install of OS( I assume it should rewrite the MBR). I am not sure how he managed to get it. He is using his PC mainly for voice chat on various messengers with his family members.
