    Trojan.ByteVerify & Downloader Virus
    Hi,
    My system has been infected with two Trojan.ByteVerify and one Downloader virus. I am using Windows Vista and the above virsuses were detected by Norton Security Scan that I have on my system. However, I have not bought the antivirus software yet so all the definations are not updated. I called Norton to find how can I get rid of the viruses. They suggested me that I would not be able to remove the viruses even if buy the software since my system got infected before buying the software. So I checked on internet for solutions. But I did not find anything for Windows Vista. The viruses are located in the following folder...
    C:\Users\Alex\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment \cache\6.0\59\107cd1bb-22820c7e
    I am not very smart with computers. Could you please suggest how can I remove these viruses from my system. Thank you in advance.
    Alex.

    Options:
    a) Attempt automated removal via an online scan such as Trend Micro's Housecall.

    b) Manually remove the virus(s) using Symantec's removal instructions. Usually, instructions for Windows 2000 or XP will work just as well for Vista. Virus definitions can also be manually applied after expiration by downloading from Symantec and decompressing to the correct folder with a decompression utility such as 7-Zip.

    c) Take computer to reputable service center for thorough cleaning.

    Be sure to run to run Windows Update after cleaning to patch the vulnerability that allowed you to become infected in the first place.
