Hi, I was wondering if anyone here could help me? I did my weekly system scan last night and came up with 3 files that were infected with the Trojan.Byte Verify virus. I qurarntined and then deleted them after I tried to send them to NAV, but was told they were aware of it, and to delete the files. Subsequent scans have come up clean. What I want to know is, is it really gone? I have a HP Pavillion running windows xp. Two of the files said "The compressed file VerifierBug.class within......" and the other one said, "The compressed file BB.class within....." and that they all were infected with the Trojan.Byte Verify virus. The paths were through my temporary internet files. I do not have kazaa installed and everytime I dl any software, I scan it with NAV, and I keep my virus definitions up to date. So, is there anything else I should do to make sure it's gone? And if so, please explain in easy to undestand language, as I am a very new computer owner and am confused quite easily by computer talk. I don't know if I gave enough info, if not ask and I'll try my best to give it to you. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just an idea-run hijack this! and see if you have a file called WINMAIN.exe...I had that verifier bug and removed it-it was attached to a file called winlog......then this appeared that someone posted about those particular files............ read this: http://www.nsclean.com/psc-htas.html I think its attached to this veriferbug trojan:)

Thanks! I have another question....where do I find Hijack This? I really am new at this, I've had my computer less than a month, befor that I had a webtv, so virusese weren't an issue. I hope that you won't lose patience with me as I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. Thanks again!

I do beleive this is one of the hijack this locations:) http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ Best of luck to you:) Jeanette

Getting you some help:) Jeanette

Jen42, Go and get either Spybot or Ad-Aware you can find them by going to This Post and clicking on the links. I can tell you right now you have Spyware/Ad-ware on your system. You have quite of bit of it to be honest. Also, please refrain from posting a plea to read a post that is only a few down from your orginal. I know you are seeking help but give people time. KTTD
