That is a key in your Registry, and worse yet its probably a "self healing" so it can reinstate software every time you delete it.
Spybot is good for locating Trogan downloader keys in Registry. Once located, change the + box to minus, then on far right youl see Registry location. Click on that. It will direct you to registry key and a number such as 1004 for example. Click on that highlighted number, then choose rename and type in 1003. The trogan downloader will not be able to operate anymore in your computer. Reboot and check and see it will be GONE.
