Virus detected in J2SE V5.0 download??!!

I just ran my Symantec AntiVirus on my Win2003 Server and it quarantined the following file:
File: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar\arr3.jar-58b317c1-609c5581.zip>>Counter.class
Symantic is worried about the VerifierBug.class and the Counter.class Says they contain the Trojan.ByteVerify.
How should I react to this? I suspect it is a false virus indication, but I'm not sure.
Thanks
Jim

The infected files are not from Sun, they are infected class file that have been downloaded from a website to run an applet or (not likely) a webstart application. They were cached by Java - if NAV didn't delete them from the cache, you can by opening the Java Control Panel and finding them in the Temporary Internet Files list in the Control Panel, and manually delete them. They're harmless, as noted, but can be an annoyance it they keep showing up in virus scans.

Virus detected when I try to download firefox.

I'm unable to download firefox. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and IE 9. Everytime I try to download firefox to install it tell me it has detected a virus and deletes the program before I can install. I have a free AVG virus protection software. I even tried to disable this temporarily and download but I still received the same message. Please help!

AVG should not be blocking it unless the anti virus you have may be fake. Here are some you can get for free and remove AVG to see if it helps:

Disable the A/V and then run the installer.

I have iPad2 and iMac. What is recommended virus detection/protection software to download?

What is the best recommended virus detection/protection software for iMac???

You don't need any anti-virus software. See:
Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.

Anti virus - detect and delete - in Snow leopard

Hello
They say Snow Leopard has excellent built in anti-virus software, but I'm not sure. I just taken a job to the printer and his PC virus detection said I had serious virus problems on my Mac.
This seems likely, and could explain the problems I've been having with OS applications like Fontbook - it's so slow it's useless. And Adobe CS3 is also playing up, I have to force quit programs, they work OK for a while, then the most basic elements of the application fail (like quiting, and cropping in Photoshop).
I have spoken to Adobe (useless) and I have reinstalled the OS, and CS3.
How can I check and eliminate a worm or virus from my HD and external backup HD.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
John

I'm with you there. I had been running OS 10.4.11 with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Now I have Snow Leopard and CS3. And, the ONLY reason I upgraded to Snow Leopard was to use the iLife suite, which has some software I need. Now there are problems all over the place. I can't use some of the CS3 plugins that I paid good money for, CS3 has a strange artifact that shows up every time it opens (fortunately the artifact doesn't print), video downloads through Firefox, Chrome or Safari have numerous cache issues, startup is slow, some apps crash randomly, and Word doesn't function properly (don't chastise me on using Word. I have to use it.) I've even installed the proper updates and reinstalled CS3 (like you, I can't afford CS5 yet -- starving artist, you know.)
I am VERY disappointed in Snow Leopard (not to mention Apple support). Macs used to be the machine to beat when it came to bugs and crashes. Now a Mac is just like any PC -- you never know what's going to happen.

Anyone benefiting from anti-spyware or virus detection?

Anyone with experience or opinions on anti-spyware/virus detection software for our Macs?
I'd like to know if anyone has one worth while to recommend.
Concerned with more and more apps., and blogging sites and websites visited.
Thanks....

Adding my two cents worth:
At this time there have been no confirmed Mac OS X viruses (subject to the semantic debate about whether the iChat exploit from a couple of years ago is properly classified as a virus or a trojan horse and not counting the Word macro virus that can affect Office v.X or non-updated copies of Office 2004), very few trojans and no adware or spyware. I therefore do not feel that antivirus or antispyware software is necessary at this time as long as users are careful about what they download from the Internet or accept as attachments via email.
It's never wise to become complacent, though, so security precautions are not wasted. Such security precautions mostly are common sense: don't download and run files from sites you don't know, don't double-click on attachments in emails you aren't expecting and/or from people you don't know, and make sure you password your system and keep that password secure, In addition, don't leave your your system available in a public place and unattended where someone unauthorized could use it and potentially install malware (such a policy is also a precaution against theft).
It is possible for a Mac user to inadvertently forward a Windows virus to a PC user though you'd have to do it manually so the above precautions would probably prevent such virus-spreading, and said Windows virus cannot infect the Mac.
If you do decide you wish to run antivirus software, I think that the donationware clamXav should be more than enough provided you remember to scan your system from time to time. iAntivirus has also been recommended by others, though I have no personal experience with it.
If you are running Windows on your system, either via BootCamp, Parallels Workstation or another solution, then that copy of Windows is subject to all the myriad exploits common to the Windows world, so you need to take full precautions, including running both antivirus and antispyware software.
Regards.

Directory Damage, what can be used for Disk Repair and Virus Detection?

Hi,
My eMac is acting up. Yesterday I started getting these messages that I needed to restart my computer (message was in a brown box window with an icon of a start up button in background).
I did the disk repair using Start up CD and it came back with "invalid key......." or something like that, and when I tried to repair it, it tried to repair the B-Tree's but then said it could not repair the problem.
I have Diskwarrior 3.03 Build 39, on a CD and on my FW Ext HD, which has a clone of my Mac HD.
Diskwarrior could not produce a graph of Mac HD because the directory was damaged. When I did a rebuild it hung on step 9 comparing directories, said there was 7 million + tests. ( I let it hang on step 9 for 15 hrs. to see if maybe it was just taking a long time due to corrupt directory). I finally clicked on Skip and got to the report page. I could do a preview, but the replace button is greyed out. When I was comparing the sizes of each folder, in both preview and original, I got a can not calculate error message on a few of them. The size of Mac HD in preview compared to the one in Original was different by 4 gbs. A week ago I repaired the Mac HD and did a Diskwarrior directory repair on all my HD's.
Before I do any reformatting of HD or other drastic measures, I was wondering what is safe to use for disk repair and virus detection. I know there is Norton System Works 3.0, Norton AntiVirus and TechTool, are these the only ones? Are these safe to use? Are there any other programs that can repair directory damage?
Thank you in advance,
Deb

The long-standing rule of thimb has been that if Disk Warrior can't repair a mungled disk directory, then you're looking at reformatting or replacing the hard drive. Since this is a week-old hard drive, I'd suspect the replacement hard drive is itself bad. It might save you grief in the long run to contact the vendor who sold you the drive and inquire about their warrenty. You might want to first run the file system check utility fsck as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck
Directory repair and antivirus protection are different critters. Norton AV is mostly safe (if you don't mind it's track record of false positives) and is used by the IT department at the lab where I work. Norton SystemWorks, AKA Disk Doctor Kervorkian, is most assuredly NOT safe. For every poster reporting something nice about it, you'll find at least 2 dozen cursing it. It has a known track record of detecting problems no other utility finds and of "repairing" drives such that nothing can then read or repair the drive short of low-level reformatting (and occasionally even that fails).
Tech Tool Pro 4 has a good reputation, as does Drive Genius. Tiger OS X 10.4.2 and later include a version of Disk Utility that can for the first time also make effective B-tree and keys out of order and overlapped extent repairs. Still, my personal gut feeling is that if Disk Warrior is choking on the hard drive, you're looking at reformatring while zeros the drive (zeroing should detect and map out bad physical secotrs).
You can also refer to Disk First Aid: What to do when it finds an error and to Handling "overlapped extent allocation" errors reported by Disk Utility or fsck

Virus Detected (403), Your file could not be uploaded because it contains a virus.

From a Windows 7 Ultimate PC I tried to upload a PDF portfolio containing 35 PDFs. The upload failed with the message "Virus Detected (403), Your file could not be uploaded because it contains a virus."
It is highly unlikely that this PDF portfolio or its 35 PDFs contain a virus. It passed a scan by Microsoft Security Essentials. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I've got the same 403 error when I want to upload a ebook (purchased on peachpit, see this url for ebook), but when I scan it (windows 8 / avast) no virus found.

J2SE Multiple file download?

Does anyone know whether the J2SE can be downloaded as multiple files?

I don't think there is, are you asking this because you are on dial-up? If you are you can always get a dl manager to help you out with that, it allows resuming and what not for whenever you are online. I haven't personally used a dl manager for a really long time, but I used to use getright.

What is your Windows version? 32-bit or 64-bit?
Internet Explorer: you must use the 32-bit version, regardless of your OS version.

Mail server rejected message: spam or virus detected (#5.3.0)

Hi everybody,
for the first time ever I got this funny message:
mail server rejected message: spam or virus detected (#5.3.0)
This happens now with e-mails containing a pdf which I a) have already sent before and b) created on the mac. Checked with another pdf just for testing - same effect. Any other documents work fine - just those pdfs don't work anymore.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Bettina

Bettina,
There is the possibility of the MS Office and Word being infected (but not the Mac overall) with what are called micro-viri, and are cross-platform. Many AV filters will catch those. I am providing a link where some of us discussed this MS Office infection:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2782109&#2782109
Let us know what you find? See also:
http://outlandishjosh.com/wp/index.php?p=861
which you will see in that topic linked above.
I have not confirmed the path you chose to create the PDF will transmit this virus, but this must be checked out, and is probably the source of the message you are getting.

Trojan Virus Detected

While using Safari a notice stating Trojan Virus detected keeps appearing! Safe Booted once but very apprehensive !?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Malware perhaps but not a virus. Get MacScan
You can use the demo for 30 days free and runs on Snow Leopard.

Sophus anti virus detected troj/upatre-jl and cleanup failed. how to manually remove?

My Sophus Anti Virus detected "troj-upatre-jl" and the cleanup failed from quarantine manager.
It says manual cleanup is required and I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Need help!

Either it detected nothing at all, or it detected Windows malware in an email attachment. The malware will have no effect as long as you don't pass it on to anyone else or run it yourself in Windows.
Remove the useless, time-wasting Sophos product by following the instructions on this page, and also this one, if applicable. If you have a different version, the procedure may be different.
Back up all data before making any changes.

Virus Detected in inbound e-mail

I have been getting alerts on mac os server pertaining to the mail:
Virus detected in inbound email
A virus was detected in an inbound email. The message containing the virus was not delivered to the intended recipient and has been moved to:
/Library/Server/Mail/Data/scanner/quarantine
It is recommended that you delete all messages in this directory. Messages left in the above location for longer than 72 hours will be automatically deleted.
However when I go look in that folder it is empty (I know it deletes in 72 hours but I look immediately). I get no info on who it was intended for, what was really done with it, if it was a mistake or anything. Am i missing something?
Thanks

I found this post on Google, sorry to dig up an old thread but I'd just like to say you can inspect them this way:
sudo su
cd /Library/Server/Mail/Data/scanner/quarantine
ls
If the files are gz format like they are on my server you can:
zless <bad file name here>.gz
Then use your up and down keys to see the HTML content or anything else. In my case it was actually a legitimate message being marked as spam, not a virus at all!
