re: Cannot get rid of downloader.istbar.aq Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 9:26 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) It is a browser hijacker. If you've updated both Spybot and AW, I suggest you boot into Safe mode and run them each again. Before booting into Safe Mode, check in Add/Remove programs and remove any toolbars, and/or other suspicious applications, you didn't install yourself (if possible). How to Start Windows in Safe Mode Clear out all your temp folders before rebooting. Either manually, or use this program. Before you run it, go into Options and select any Cookies you don't want deleted: CCleaner Then reboot normally and follow the steps here, that you've not already done. Once you're finished, post back to this thread for further help.
