Can't Remove Java/byteverify

My AVG Resident Shield is giving me the following message: Virus Detected! While opening file: C:\WINDOWS\Temp\ and the specific constantly changing file name here Virus identified Java/ByteVerify I have scanned with my AVG, Norton, Ad-Aware SE Personal & Spybot and find nothing. Can you help with this?

click on start then control panel then java icon then cache tab then clear

There is no Java Icon in my control panel however when I go to my dos "command prompt" and type in "jview" it says Java 5.00.3810

Download CCleaner from the link below. Open it and click on "run cleaner" at the bottom right.

Download >>>> http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html

Downloaded and ran Ccleaner. Virus still present. What next?

Have you ever updated Java?


Update >>>> http://java.com/en/index.jsp

Unless it was in some Microsoft/Windows update I never intentionally updated it. Never used Java for any of my own needs.

Here is some info on it. Best to just update to the new java.

I've downloaded/updated my Java. This also required some Active-X updates. I then restated. Java icon now shows in my "control panel" but there is still no "cache tab" when I open the Java icon. Virus still there. What next?

When you double click on the Java icon does a new box open? And what tabs does it have?

When I double click the Java Icon a new box does open and the tabs are: General, Update, Java, Security & Advanced. I also used the “Update Now” tab under the “Update” tab to make certain I was fully updated. The message I get when I went online and initiated “Update Now” is “You already have the latest Java™ Platform on this system”. Under the “General Tab” I initiated “About” and get this information: Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_02-b09) Copyright 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. I did however notice that by going to the DOS command prompt that I get two different Java version listings depending on the directory I am at when I type “jview” . Notice the difference when I am at “C:\Documents and Settings\Claude” and then at “C:\>” Here is that result, cut & pasted from my “Command Propmt” : Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] © Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\Claude>jview Microsoft ® Command-line Loader for Java Version 5.00.3810 Copyright © Microsoft Corp 1996-2000. All rights reserved.

If it is sitting in your temp folders I would boot to safe mode and then clewan out all your temp folders.

Siggyx, Could you remember a very relaxed and happy feeling you had on your last vacation? Good, because you deserved that for helping me clean my system! No more Java/ByteVerify . Went to safe mode, searched every “.tmp” file and deleted them all. Also deleted the Temp directory in C:\WINDOWS\Temp then recreated it. All is well. Now…remember that vacation. Thanks, Claude
