We consider in detail various theoretical uncertainties of the perturbative predictions for the decay width of $H^0\rightarrow b\overline{b}$ process in the region $50\ GeV< M_H\leq 2M_W$. We calculate the order $O(\alpha_s^2)$-contributions to the expression for $\Gamma_{Hb\overline{b}}$ through the pole quark mass and demonstrate that they are important for the elimination of the numerical difference between the corresponding expression and the one through the running $b$-quark mass. The order $O(\alpha\alpha_s)$ and $O(\alpha^2)$ massless and order $O(m_b^2/M_H^2)$ massive corrections to $\Gamma_{Hb\overline{b}}$ are also calculated. The importance of the latter contributions for modeling of the threshold effects is demonstrated. The troubles with identifying of the 4 recent L3 events $e^+e^-\rightarrow l^+l^-\gamma\gamma$ with the decay of a Standard Higgs boson are discussed.
