This virus is probally in your temporary internet file folder.
Even though they are "uncleanable"
the Trend Micro HouseCall on line scanner should let you delete them..

Unless the files are in a "System Restore" folder...

Try to let Trend Micro delete them, reboot, then scan again..to see if they are gone.. let us know if you se any other viruses also..
If you can't delete them, please let us know the folder that they are in.

Hmm...
I remember you use to come in here a lot...

Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one IMMEDIATELY, AVG 6.0 http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php is an excellent FREE AV app.

If the online doesn't get it download and install avg boot into safe mode by hitting f5 to boot into safe mode and scan in safe the reason being is the file that is infected changed the rights of the file safe mode would delete the file/files that are infected and or the rights protected by the virus.

Probably should have a sticky post on the best settings for all the major antivirus apps used here by everyone...

In AVG free edition.. click on the icon on your desktop. If you dont have that icon go to programs, AVG 6.0 ANTIVIRUS SYSTEM, and click AVG 6.0 for Windows.

Go up to service and click complete test settings. check every box you can. Make shure all your hard drives are selected. Make shure to click OK. Make shure your up to date with your virus definitions. Run a scan and see if you find em now.

Stop going to porn sites and you won't get infected with Byte Verify. I'm an expert at getting this one! I average at least 4 infections per porn viewing cycle. Can anyone beat that?

You'll have to disable system restore, run a scan with trend online and pay attention to the exact location of the files. Usually all but one can be deleted with trend, but one you'll have to manually go find and delete.

symantec norton anti virus 2003 will catch byte verify before it gets on and keep it out. i know for a fact.
you should consider buying it if you will continue going to porn sites.

Trend will give you the full path name. I can't remember if you simply hover your cursor over the partial name or what. Maybe I should go infect myself again and find out? If someone else doesn't say for sure soon, I will.

Oh and by the way, I see more ladies looking at porn then I do men. ;)

Ive never had a problem with AVG seeing those myself but...

Go to
C:\Documents and Settings\*user name*\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\
and scan those folders with your choice of scanners.

You might just delete everything there (in the cache folder) and see if the scanners still find it. That is normally where I find em if they get in.

:D

from the Symantec online virus scan page-
Note: Scan for Viruses does not scan compressed files

just keep that in mind



:D
