Need help deleting trojan viruses!?

I have the AT%26T Yahoo! Online Protection Anti-Virus software and I just scanned my computer for viruses a while ago and it said that I have 16 infected files!



The name of the viruses are Java/ByteVerify!exploit and some variations of Java/Shinwow (".W",".AZ" after the Shinwow).



Anyway I don't know how to delete them! When I click on the virus name it just leads me to



pages like:



http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/vir...



the page gives instruction on how to delete the viruses. It says



'1. From the Start button, click Settings%26gt; Control Panel



2. In the Control Panel, open the "Java Plug-in Control Panel"



3. Select the Cache Tab



4. Click the Clear button inside the Cache Tab, which will clear your JRE cache directory '



I got as far as going to the Java Plug-in Control panel, but I couldn't find the "Cache" tab!



please help if you can! thanks

"Go to Start %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; Double-Click on Java Icon %26gt; Temporary Internet Files Settings %26gt; Delete Files %26gt; OK, go ahead and delete them. That will clear the java cache."

Trojan should now be gone.



Also, your Java is probably out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. To prevent further infections with this trojan, update your Java at the Sun Java website:
