ISTbar Description:
ISTbar is an IE toolbar, homepage- and search-hijacker provided by Integrated Search Technologies/CDT Inc.

ISTbar/AUpdate installs a TinyBar variant to implement its toolbar, and will be detected by the script at this site as TinyBar/B . The hijacker is aimed at my-internet.info and blazefind.com; distribution is managed by searchbarcash.com, its controlling server. Updates are loaded by an 'AUpdate' process.

ISTbar/MSCache also uses TinyBar , along with a Browser Helper Object called mscache.dll used to load updates. The controlling server is www2.skoobidoo.com.
