I have had encounters with these 2 annoying programs on my computer and I don't know if anyone of you guys know more about it.

My anti-v was able to detect the Download.Trojan but wasn't able to successfully quarantine the file. Any information about this virus would help. Maybe a link as to what it does...?

With the ISEARCH, this toolbar was all of a sudden installed into my system without any warnings or anything. Anyone knows what this toolbar particularly does? I know it's a spyware and I was able to remove it but my concern is, what it really does? Compared to Alexa and others. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Symantec have the full info at http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/downloader.trojan.html looks like a pain to remove but not too bacd.
