HELP damsel in distress. Virus invasion on my computer

[JanetT]

Hi everyone.
I have been on this forum before and have found very helpful advice on how to get rid of viruses. Can some kind person help me out this time.

I have AVG. This morning I got 18 viruses come up on the daily check I run automatically. I got some in the vault, re ran AVG and some remained. Further navigation of AVG gave the following info: " Some of selected objects are located inside archive and cannot be healed" One option given was to " Hide viruses inside archives"

Does anyon have any ideas on how to get rid of the virus that apparently is named: Java/byteverify

Regards
JanetT

Try this routine: http://www.omnicast.net/~tmcfadden/scan.txt

Also be aware that Java/ByteVerify, even if present, is a toothless threat if your system is patched. Like being exposed to a cold that you've already had... your body's immune to it henceforth. So is your system patched up? You can easily check with the handy Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

Are you sure your Windows software is genuine? Where'd you get it from? Maybe it's a counterfeit, they're out there.

Hi Mechbgon.

I checked the AVG scan,, watched it processing yesterday. Usually it runs automattically and signs come up if there is virus. Well no signs since I got this virus. So I checked the activity log of the AVG, and the virus has gone. GREAT. I printed out your "down load the win_betaegndat .zip file. " doc, but didnt need to do it.

Thanks for your prompt response

Kind regards
