I got this Trojan.ByteVerify while I was doing a google search and clicked on a link to a site that I really shouldn't have. I didn't relize it was a darn porn site till it was tooo late. At that same moment Norton popped up with it's warning.
The Object Names were:
1)GetAccess.class
2)Insecure ClassLoader.class
3)Dummy.class
4)Installer.classAll were in, Container:
C:\DOCUME~...\jar_cache37298.tempI checked for updates and I ran Ad-Aware and quarantined three dataminers and also checked for updates for spybot and ran it and found nothing. From reading a recent post in here I decided to delete the Java cache.
I was wondering since Norton Antivirus said that it deleted this trojan if there was anything else I should do?
Also, I think my Java is an old program. It says
Java Runtime Enviornment:
Java plug-in default.
JRE 1.4.2 in C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2
other...
It is higlighted on the Java plug-in default.I noticed on searching the internet that the newer versions have a link to update the Java program and this one doesn't.
Do I need a newer program and if so, do I need to delete the version I have now before downloading the newer program?
I don't know a thing about the Java stuff.
I'm not ignorant, I just need more learning!

Yes you should update to a newer version as they have plugged a few security holes. Latest version is Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_02-b09)available at this URL: http://java.com/en/download/download_the_latest.jsp
You should unistall the old version first.

Thank you JohnBC,
I am pretty sure that I need to go to the add/remove program to delete it. Is it that simple or is there anything else I need to do before dwnloading the newer version?
I'm not ignorant, I just need more learning!

Add/Remove should delete old version OK. You can actually run several versions of Java on a machine without problems. Some developers do this to test their products.
