Malware outbreak??

Anyone else out there in the repair business getting many computers to fix that are infected with the rogue software xpantivirus08?? I've had 4 of these to fix in the last 2 days.

Anything in particular to look out for with this one? I've removed it off a few machine in the past week using Spybot, but just wondering do you know of any traces that it leaves or should Spybot get it all?
