This one looks like a tricky critter. Apparently, it can by-pass most security applications (although XP is said to be more vulnerable than Vista.) More info HERE.
Vista does have some extra protection against rootkits already, but there's no harm in running it It's one of the few rootkit detectors that works in Vista as far as I know

I was round at a friends house today as they have been infected by this trojan. The only way they knew was a letter from the bank informing them that online banking had been cut off because they detected Sinowal access to her account. I've run everything I can think of, and nothing has detected it (HJT, Blacklight, Avira, SAS, Housecall, AVG etc...).
This little bugger is hard to find
