    Unhappy Help...Trojan.ByteVerify

    I am running Windows XP home edition.I noticed my computer was running very slow so I ran AD-Aware but I got a warning saying that AD-Aware had a missing or corrupted file so then I uninstalled Ad-Aware and reinstalled it. While running the scan my Norton Anti-Virus notified me of the virus.Action taken:clean failed: Quarantine succeeded: access denied. Can someone help me out here.Thanks in advance.Also does anyone know when PCworld will be back online? I found some free programs that I need.Thanks again.

    Reboot in Safe mode (instructions) and then try re-running Ad-Aware.

    Just tried http://www.pcworld.com and it's up.

    Thanks for the help.I am currently running a virus scan and so far it found 5 more of the same virus. I will try your advice and get back to you.Do you know where I could go to find out about this virus? Like was my personal information and banking info taken? I hope that makes sense.Thanks again.

    I rebooted in safe mode without networking and it only found 6 object( they were cookies),351 process modules and at the bottom it had an exclamation point in a yellow triangle that said 32 negligible objects. My kids use the computer alot to play games so I figure that is probably where they are coming from.So what does all this mean?

    You can delete them. They're called 'Negligible Risk Entries'. You won't get them if you turn off the feature that searches for them.

    Open Ad-aware SE and click Start. On the next screen you'll see a green button that says "Search for negligible risk entries". Click the green button and it will turn red with an X in the center.

    It should be. Since you're using Norton AntiVirus, you may want to ran another scan. Here is Symantec's (Norton's) page on Trojan.ByteVerify.

    thanks! You are awsome.Thanks so much for your time. I just did a virus scan in safe mode and it came up clean so that means that my system is ok now right?

    If it's clean, I'd say you have nothing more to worry about as long as you followed the instructions on the symantec site. I was infected with this virus once or twice before myself.

    Provided that you have the most current Sun Java runtime, 1_4_2_06,

    Control Panel > Java Plug-in > Cache > Clear.

    You may want to un-check Enable Caching.
    Cheers.
