Archived from groups: alt>comp>virus (more info?)

I have Norton Anti-Virus 2002. While running a full scan I found a whole
bunch of (11) infected files of the trojan byte verifier class. I am not
sure why I keep getting these infected trojan byte verifier files as I have
updated all the Microsoft patches including the Virtual machine upgrade. I
have put in every critical update from MS but I keep getting this problem.
Anyway I quarantined 10 of them but the 11th I was unable to quarantine or
delete. I would like to manually delete it but I am afraid to even click on
it as last time I tried to check out the file properties it seemed to run
just by clicking on it.

The file is C:\Documents and
Settings\MyName\JPI_CA~1\jar\1.0\archive.jar-28a36e2a-1f246e7e.zip
Funny thing is when I look for thain Windows Explorer it shows that it is
not a .zip but a .idx file. I did not double click on it or even single
clicked on it so why is that? How should I get rid of this?

Yes, you just have to pay for the extra year of subscription.

If it don't work, hit it.
If it still doesn't work, kick it.
If it works after hitting it and kicking it, then it doesn't matter if
hitting it or kicking it helped, what's important is it worked.
