Default Spa site gets `rootkited`

I came across this spa's website today, which is hosting a rootkit.

The full URL is: www.landmarkspa.com/pdf/wq.exe

root1

The file itself came up as clean as soap on VirusTotal:

VT0

Upon running it though, the file immediately deleted itself and created a Service.

rootkit

That service, or rootkit, is detected by a few AV Vendors:

vtrootkit

Playing with the new (free) version of McAfee FileInsight:

padding

The screenshot below shows the rootkit name and... a lot of padding... an easy way to bypass signature detection.
