You will get the response probably during today. It is trojan (not virus) and there is no reason to do an urgent special update because of this. It should be included in the next regular update....

I have read somewhere that this ByteVerify is not really damaging your system. But if other antivirusprograms detect it something must be wrong with it I suppose

It is  an exploit. If your Java Version is not up to date this exploit allows to execute special Malware like the "famouse" Coolwebsearch hijacker. So for me it is more or less important to add this. But if you have a Java Version which is immunized to that exploit it is completly harmless.
