what is StatusBarApp.app?

I got an alert telling me to update StatusBarApp.app on my MacBook Pro (2012 vintage running Mojave 10.14.5). What is it and how do I update it?

Bingo! Thanks for the quick reply. The file got installed with a USB dongle I bought to update my MBP to 802.11ac. Got it off Amazon from a firm called USBNovel (https://www.usbnovel.com/product/usb-wifi-adapter-**600mbps-new/). Works fine for me. I was able to download a newer driver with installer and uninstaller. In case anyone else needs this info, you use the uninstaller first, then the installer.

Thanks, again.

Oops. Something strange going on. I clicked the link and, yes, I got a 404. Then I noticed that the URL had gained "%29." at the end. I removed that and it went to the site. I looked again at the link in my post and it seems that the "close parentheses" symbol and the period somehow became part of the link. Go figure.
