So I want to uninstall the program completely. I already uninstalled the Java Runtime, but the virus is in the sun's folder. I dont want to have to select the folder and hit the delete key , I want to properly uninstall it but I can't seem to find a way to do that. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks

I would go to a clean machine and make a bartpe disk. This disc is a wonderful utility it will get around any windows protection issues when trying to remove a virus. Another thing AVG isnt really that good. It is free though so I totally understand. If making a BartPE disc is not something you want to do or know how to do try running the virus program in safe mode.

You don't have to uninstall Java, just delete the Java cache. Go to Control Panel>Java>delete files. The Java/byteverifyer doesn't do anything, unless you're running an unpatched version of the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. If you are running a patched version, or just the Sun version, then they(the exploits) don't do a thing but sit in your Java cache folder, as the exploit was designed for Microsoft's version of Java. Everybody has them, no matter what browser you use...but not all AV software trips them.
