updated with information included to related Microsoft Security Advisory.
Updates included to Revision History too.
Additionally, my research say there was sample available as early as 12th June.

2006':

This Trojan was known as X97M_EMBED.AN before this week's rename process on
Monday.
It is possible that other vendors had a sample more than a week ago as well,
but there is no related field in their malware description documents. When
checked it appears that Trend's HQ is located in Tokyo. I have no information
where their laboratories are located.
