This name is seen by many Spyware apps as a HIGH security threat. I guess this
is not the case, but if the name could be chnaged it would avoid that Wireshark
ends up being considered as Spyware.

Sbus is a variant of ILookup, an IE toolbar which adds a search box, link
buttons and bookmarks to the Favorites menu (most affiliate links). It also
hijacks both your homepage and your search page sidebar and tracks your
browsing habits and reports this information to a central advertising server.
