Hmm... interesting, it could have been installed along with another piece of software. I know a person where I work had CD that installed burning software along with a bunch of other useless crap if you're not paying attention to what's actually being installed. It even installed an old trial version of Norton over the new one, rendering both unusuable.
About the assistant, I don't want to blame anyone, but it's likely. The people that know just enough about computers to cause real damage, but not enough to know what they're actually doing are the most dangerous.
It's pretty unlikely they'll give the computer to you, as the hardware itself is likely just fine. It's the software that's screwed up, the computer can be easily made usuable again with a reformat.
