There is an issue of the settings file changing somehow. Select "Properties" in update manager. Change the "Update upon next computer restart" option to "Update immediately" and click on "OK" Next, select "Settings" in update manager Click the "Advanced" tab, and then the button marked "Delete Update Temporary Files"

Repeat the update and all should be well - you should get the "Update Applied Successfully" dialog box

How do you remove Trojan horse Downloader Istbar 4 H?

Istbat.4.H is identified as a Trojan by AVG as of mid-October, possibly earlier. Istbat.4.H hides in System Restore, so turn it off before you scan to facilitate removal of the infected files. I had to run Spybot, download AVG from Grisoft, perform an update to AVG, then reboot into safe mode and run a full system scan. I also ran Ad Aware on another system before it was clean enough to allow antivirus updates and spyware updates. After removal, reboot and run AVG again, just to be sure. I ended up manually deleting a couple of files that AVG couldn't. Run a Windows Update afterwards to patch up vulnerabilities that allow Istbar to operate.
