Then why was SETI listed as it was in Windows taskmanager?

Because the virus has been activated by your unprotected friend, and it 
has attacked the S@h executable.  That's the way the original variant 
of viruses worked - by attaching itself to the start-up of some commonly 
used executable ti would be fired up time after time by the unsuspecting 
user, ready to re-infect any new programs, or floppy disks.
