HELP PLEASE!How should i get rid of the java bytever.a? its some kind of trojan or something?
ok make sure you do a full scan OFFLINE, meaning you unplug the line physically from your computer and run a scan. This trojan is dangerous and should be fixable

If you use the System Restore feature of Windows Me/XP, a copy of Java.Bytever.A could be stored in System Restore's backup folder. To remove the backup, you'll need to disable System Restore.



To do this in WinXP, click Start and Control Panel, double-click the System icon, select the System Restore tab, check the Turn Off System Restore checkbox, and click Apply. Confirm that you want to disable System Restore, and the infected backups will be deleted. To remove the System Restore feature's backup files in WinMe, right-click the My Computer icon on the Desktop, select Properties, and select the Performance tab. Click File System and Troubleshooting. Select Disable System Restore and click OK. The infected backups will be deleted. Restart your computer.



Now you can remove Java.Bytever.A and its associated files. Start Windows in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key as Windows begins to boot. Start your Web browser and point it to Trend Micro HouseCall, a free online virus scanner, at housecall.trendmicro.com. Click the Scan Now button and follow the on-screen instructions. When it finds a virus, click the Clean button to remove it. (Let HouseCall check your entire system; because Java.Bytever.A works in tandem with other malware, there could be several infected files.) When it is done, restart your computer and return to the System Restore window to re-enable that feature.



If the Java Plug-In Control Panel is installed on your computer (to find out, click Start and Control Panel and look for a Java Plug-in icon), you may be able to remove Java.Bytever.A manually by deleting the Java Runtime Environment cache files. In the Java Plug-In Control Panel window, select the Cache tab and click the Clear button. (In later versions of the control panel, look for the Temporary Internet Files pane and click the Delete Files button; select all three checkboxes, and click OK.) Close the control panel window.



After using either method to remove Java.Bytever.A, you'll want to restore any of the Internet settings the malware changed. To reset Internet Explorer's home and search Web pages, launch Internet Explorer, select Internet Options from the Tools menu, select the Programs tab, click the Reset Web Settings button, and click OK.



Some of Java.Bytever.A's helper programs can add unwanted email signature files, so you should also remove these. Open Outlook Express, select Options from the Tools menu, and select the Signatures tab. If any signature files are listed that you didn't add yourself, highlight them and click Remove.How should i get rid of the java bytever.a? its some kind of trojan or something?
