Try:

$ cat testfile | egrep "Antivirus Pattern" | cut -d " " -f 5 | cut -c 2-
| tr -d  '.'

Result:

xyyyz
xyyzz
xyyyz
xyyzz

Explanation:

1) cat your file
2) egrep a pattern (regular expression mode of grep one could also use
regular grep in this case)
3) cut --delimter = space, cut everything except field 5
4) cut everything before second character and show till end of line.
When there's bogus data behind the string make it looks like: cut -c 2-8
5) tr -d removes the dots
