The java/byteverify is not a virus but rather a method to exploit a security vunerability in the Microsoft Virtual Machine.
AVG kept prompting that I had a number of viruses after I upgraded. Microsoft update 816093 will take care of this. If you can't get it from Microsoft go to the following Web site, (University of Calgary) download and install.
