Take the trial version of TrojanHunter. Simply download and run the setup file from:
http://www.misec.net/products/TrojanHunter.exe after the install. make a LiveUpdate from TrojanHunter and then make a full system scan.

 

For those people who are saying "it's not in the java folder":

My problems were all to be found in C:\windows\.jpi_cache\jar\1.0

and once I deleted the contents of said folder, the problems disappeared.

I'm using AVGfree (which found the problem, but wouldn't solve it) & Win98SE... I'm also using Mozilla & have completely banned activex... yeah...

 

download adaware se and you will relieve yourself of this problem.

 

No you wont. I have adaware se and I have lots and lots of this stupid trojan. It's breeding or something. aaaaaaghhhh

 

Got the same problem, equally solved.
Thx stAnger

 

I just want to say what excellent forums these are. Upon receiving the confirmation that my computer was indeed infected with the byte/verify virus I was worried that it was going to spread out of control (previous virus removal attempts had failed). However, with problems like these it's always best to talk to people who have dealt with them before, and want to give their input and help on the topic. So I typed the virus name into google along with forums, and along came this forum link.

Above average help - fast response times - I had to make myself a member. Thanks a lot.

Sincerely,

Hey I have the same thing. I was running Norton Antivirus 2005 and it says Noron AV has detected a virus on your computer. and in the details it says this:
Object Name: C:\Program Files\...\6D6F1B09.tmp
Virus Name: Trojan.ByteVerify
Action Taken: Unable to repair this file.

Also this is rated as a High Risk. How can I get rid of this trojan?
My system is Windows Xp Profession SP2.
Also I ran my full system scan with TM PC-Cilling IS 2005 right b4 I ran it with N.A.V and it didnt even detect it.

Thanks,

I imagine, if the virus is detected in the Program Files, then you need to find which folder contains the virus, then see if you can manually delete the virus. If the program who's directory contains the virus can be uninstalled and reinstalled, then try this also.

However you may want to hang around and wait for some more replies.

p.s. also try following some of the above posts (clearing the java caches, and deleting the temporary internet files and all offline content).

 

I've tried ALL methods in these and other posts and I'm still getting 2 viruses popping up in AVG every 2 minutes...

 

I think the verifierbug.class showing up in AVG might be a false possitive. I have run Avg, house calls online scan, panda's online scan, adawareSE, Trojan Hunter, Microsofts Antispyware, Spybot and the only one thats show the trojan is AVG. I dont use sun jave program, only MS VM

For those using Sun java you might want to check this out http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,11363541~mode=flat

Good luck to all of you!!

Strange Java/Byte Verify

My paid Personal AVG will almost certainly finds the JAVA/Byte verify everytime after an update on my Sun JAVA. Thats strange isn't it ? I mean, I put my JAVA to ask me upon downloading the JAVA update and once downloaded and updated .. there it was .. the JAVA/Byte verify thingy will appear. Im using Firefox.

btw, thanx for the info in here .. i managed to delete them all. I suspect(correct me if im wrong) that AVG may not find it dangerous as it did heals and delete some other related files to the JAVA/byte verify on the same scan. So far i have been very satisfied with the paid AVG .. daily updates and detects almost all viruses and spywares out there(again .. this is limited to AVG presents to me).

how to be sure ? 100% sure ? I mean, yes, we can download all sort of virus/trojan scanners but still, we'd never know rite ? Its frustrating and consumes a whole lot of our time.

Thanx again !

 

i followed the Java routine advise and ran again my AVG . This time it didn't find any virus . Thanks.

 

This is all you need to delete those IE content files.

Housecall wasn't able to remove/clean the Java.Byte from my system. What I did find that worked was a thread suggesting "If using Sun Java, go to control panel, java plug in, set your cache to zero. Internet Options delete cache".
Thank You for the help.

 

me too adaware wont get rid of it. what will? the first mentioned item in the post above?

 

dont mean to sound like a computer dummy, but what is a java-plug in? ive looked on my control panel and i cannot find anything. i am using windows 98, would this affect it at all? please reply,
regards alex

 

I have contracted the Java byte verify... malware several times in porn sites.

After much trial and error, this method always cleans it.

First, I have the newest version of McAfee and that stops some of it from coming in, but now all of it. I'm totally up to date on Window's updates. I have Adaware SE Plus running resident, and that does not stop nor detect it. Other programs that do not detect it: A2, Ewido, Ad-Aware SE, Housecall, Microsoft Antispyware, bitdefender online scan, Spybot S&D...

And I have these things which does not stop it: SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster, WinPatrol, IE-Spyad...

Frusteratingly, McAfee detects most of it, but ends up telling me it cannot clean it, nor delete it, nor quarantine it.

But here is what I do now and it seems to work everytime:

1. Go to Tools, Internet Options, Delete Cookies and Delete Files (including offline content).

2. Go to Control Panel, Java Icon and delete all files.

3. Run CCleaner (free program) that cleans up all sorts of stuff.

4. Run Panda ActiveScan (free online scanner). For some reason, the Panda product does what McAfee, Trend, A2, Spybot, Ad-Aware SE.... and others cannot. It finds all remaining java.byteverify...type malware and eliminates it.

This has made me very tempted to buy the full Panda line next time around -- although I've read that it's a consumption hog, etc... it does seem to work.

I would like some help please. I have read all of the replies on this and have tried them all... So far nothing has worked! Im getting frustrated and dont know what to do. Im on a Compaq and am using Windows 98. I have all the updates and the patch. Ive run and adware program and a spyware remover. I have also run my anit-virus program and it could not delete the files. If someone had some information as to how to delete this I would be grateful or if someone could tell me how to turn on system restore on windows 98. I have also deleted all the temp internet files and run disk cleanup. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

 

In Java's Control Panel, setting Temporary Internet Files storage to 0 MB, and disabling cacheing works on my computer.

Nothing gets stored - including trojans.
