java byte verify Virus w. Jemplode PC's - 27/10/2004 10:23

Both of my computers that have Jemplode installed on them are getting a warning that the "java byte verify" virus has been detected. I Googled that and found you remove it by:

Start > Control Panel > Java > Cache

Then, hit "Clear" to clear the cache and remove the check mark to enable cache.

This worked on my XP machine fine. But on my Win2K machine, that also has a very old version of Jemplode that was never updated (and never had the full Java.com install on it), there is no Java entry in the Control Panel....

I'm now installing a full Java on that machine to see if it will overwrite what's on there.

Is anyone else getting this virus?

You get Byteverify by looking at dodgy webpages. It's nothing to do with Jemplode apart from the fact they both need a JVM.

Okay, I didn't mean to imply that Jemplode was the cause of this, I just meant that because Jemplode was installed, I had Java on those machines.
