Trojandownloader.XS. has been detected. Also when I load explorer the tool

RE: pop from my toolbar.

You probably have Spyware; but also scan for viruses.
If you don't have an anti-virus, use the one below.
Use the other Programs to 1. remove spyware, and 2. stop it installing

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus
It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible.

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2”
Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your
System with it.

For a non-scanning, but running the background, Program to STOP Spyware
being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the
above link.
