Java/ByteVerify

I know, people have asked this before and it looks like there are some good
answers out there, but how about a simple explanation for those of us who
don't know how to "disable system restore" and "start in safe mode"? I know
WHAT these things are but not how to do them! I have had two "trojans"
appear n my system using AVG; they are both this Java/ByteVerify; one can be
healed, and the other one can't. I think this may have happened last night
as I was viewing some webcams from around the world. It's sad when you can't
even trust going to a darn webpage!

Open your Control Panel, double-click the Java icon,
then empty the cache.

You should download the newest Java software, available
free, from Sun Microsystems:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Make sure to uninstall the old version of Java first.
