This is the message I get every time I run ad-aware. I never find any spyware or adware with ad-aware and I never find any viruses when I run symantec system scan but every time I run ad-aware this popup comes up. I was wondering if anyone knew about this file and if I need to worry about it. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

its nothing to worry about, its a potential exploit, not a virus. Open your java consol and clear the cache, that should get rid of it.

Run disk cleanup and make sure you dump dowloaded program files, temp files, temp internet files.

Nothing to worry about. Run disk cleanup like pan123 said.

The easy way to remove Byte Verify is: Control Panel>Java Console>Java Plug-in icon>Cache tab>Clear button at top right
