Just did a full virus scan as a routine action & was surprised to get two virus deletions, both of which were ByteVerifier.Trojan. These are java classes that exploit a bug in older versions of the microsoft java virtual machine. Fortunately I have that patched.

I have checked the .idx file that is associated with every downloaded java achive and found it came from here : http://www.findthewebsiteNONONONOyou...vm/archive.jar

I inserted the NONONONO just in case anyone clicks it in error.

Don't go there. It's going into my restricted sites list right now.
