    i received a message from my norton anti-virus that i was infected with a Trojan.ByteVerify virus today. as i loaded a website, the norton-anti virus posted the messge. i instantly ran spybot and norton's and they both said my computer was clean. i then looked in my log report to see what had happed. below is the message that norton had logged:

    The file
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar\classload.jar-28b7c93d-24177998.zip
    is infected with the Trojan.ByteVerify virus.
    Access to the file was denied.

    i checked to see if i had the above file. i did not.
    just in case i disabled my System Restore, put my computer in safe mode, and ran norton's. they said i did not have a virus. spy bot said i do not have a virus.

    now, i'm using mozilla. my question to you or anybody is do i have a virus or not? what else could i do? any help would be great.

    what will this virus do?

    When Norton detected it, did it quarantine the infected file? Make sure in folder options you have "Show hidden files and folders" seletced and make sure it is unchecked beside "Hide extensions for known files types" and beside
    "Hide protected operating system files". Do this, boot into "safe mode" and copy "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar" and paste this without the " in the address bar. If you get an error it probably isnt there, if it lets you in the folder and you see the file "classload.jar-28b7c93d-24177998.zip" delete it. Also try doing a search for the file, make sure when you search that you have these options selected under more advanced options "Search system folders" "search hidden files and folders" "search subfolders. Let me know. Thanks

    Thank you both for the helpful hints. I did as Symantec Security Check said. I've also ran housecall, spybot, norton, and Symantec Security Check scan. Still they say I do not have a virus. I checked my C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar" and the virus was there. I could not figure out how to delete it though. DO you have any advice? How can I delete the file? Like I said, I have ran all of the above mention virus detectors in safe mode.

    First, make sure you have these latest definitions from Symantec

    Now, go to the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner" right click, select "Scan with Norton AntiVirus" see if it detects anything.
