When I did a virus scan today, it found three infected files.
The first one was in "C: Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firetune\install\firetune.exe" which is where I installed Firetune and the other two were in "C: System Volume Information\_restore..." files.

I don't know how I got it and what it does. Does anyone else know about this or get it?

firetune was posted here as an addon but many people flamed it saying it was useless

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

What website did you download FireTune from?
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?)

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"

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

Are you using AVG?

Because someone else on another forum has the sam problem with AVG.

Yes I am. I wonder why it's detecting it as a trojan then...
