It could have an optional, or a sponsor, did it?, because it could be like a plus! situation. If not i recmmend you uninsatll the program or make the scanner delete it :)
I did remove the files that were detected in the scan. when I checked to see what firetune had "optimized", it looks like it was only one thing: "firetune.optimization | User set | Integer | 1"

If it was downloaded from an unreliable source it could be bundled with a trojan, accedently or purposefully.

There are many Downloader.Agent builds, but I've never heard of an XS build. Are you sure it was XS and not any other letters (ie AS?)
It was downloaded from totalidea.com. My AV didn't pick up the trojan before, so I must have just got it.
I'm sure it was XS. That's what it says in the 'virus vault'.

Could have there been some security hole that the trojan exploited? if those are the right words ;s
