Current removal instructions from information known as of this posting:
It installs two programs onto the computer:
PSD Tools ChannelUP v1.0 and one of the following: PSDT Messaging Integration or BuddyLinks Messaging Integration
An APS Trojan was found in the system restore folder on one of our RCCs' computers after downloading/installing the program. McAfee successfully removed the Trojan. It seems that the Trojan may come with the BuddyLinks Messaging Integration rather than the PSDT Messaging Integration program.

Why would there be anything from Symantec? The terms are clearly laid out for you if you read them. If you click it you're agreeing to let them use you to send spam IMs.
