Hi

Does AVG say why it can't remove the virus?

http://www.grisoft.com/virbase/virbase.php?qvirus_name=Istbar&action=search&lng=us&type=web

References to 'Downloader' could be spyware. Try the following programs:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
