java/byteverify exploits a hole in the microsoft java machine,you can either
make sure your windows patches are up to date or even better install sun
microsystems java.

below is the link for sun java(which is not vulnerable to any of the
microsoft exploits which hackers are taking advantage of)

You want the JRE5.0 Runtime

P.S. if your anti virus is up to date it should remove this threat.

having said that you might want to try some online scans like McAfee, Panda
etc. and look up TrojanRemover by simplysup software...they have a 30 day
fully functional free trial.

1) Dump the contents of your IE cache -
Start --> settings --> control panel --> Internet options --> delete files

2) Dump the contents of your Sun Java cache -
Start --> settings --> control panel --> Java applet --> cache --> clear
or
Start --> settings --> control panel --> Java applet --> general --> settings -->
delete files

3) Download the following two items...

Trend Sysclean Package

Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"

Download SYSCLEAN.COM and place it in that directory.
Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt488.zip

Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
