From yesterday's update: SE1R42 28.04.2005

The .sta file extension is for Eudora Stationary so that isn't istbar.

Not clear about the software\microsoft\downloadmanager as being istbar either. On another machine running the same OS (WinME) this same key is identified as WindUpdates.

Performing conditional scans...

Hi, DP. I forwarded a link to your post to a contact who notified Research. I was advised that the original entry is pre-SE. The results you encountered is "a collision in use of extensions" that istbar has moved away from using. Please add to your ignore list for now or just don't quarantine it. I expect that Research will include an update to this entry in the next Def File Beta.
