Re: Help with virus removal please

From: "John" <John@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Somehow I've gotten a Java Virus.
| Running XP home with AVG free, trendmicro anti spy and spybot s&d.
| This is what shows up on AVG report.
|
| Application Data/Sun
| Java/ByteVerify
| Infected Embedded
|
| Trojan horse Java/Class Loader
|
| I was able to move the Byte verify to the virus vault but I can't figure out
| how to get rid of the Trojan.
| Would removing the Java program and reinstalling it help?
| I'm not that computer savy and just noticed it this morning.
| All help is appreciated.
|
| Thanks
|

If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0 update 6,
then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE/JSE
Version 5.0 update 6. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being
exploited. It is possible that is how you got infected with malware.

Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun Java
to Version 5 update 6 on the PC that they be removed ASAP.

The latest version is Sun Java JRE/JSE Version 5.0 Update 8

Simple check, look under...
C:\Program Files\Java

The only folder under that folder should be the latest version.

Such as...
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08

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

2) Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache { if you use FireFox }
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear

3) 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

4) Re-scan your system using your anti virus software.
