    Hi! I would appreciate feedback about combofix.exe. I tried to use the program, according to chaslang's instructions ("Malware removal guide"). The problem is that Panda Internet Security 2008 reports combofix as Potentially Unwanted Program (with a specific "code" I can reproduce if required). Eventually is it safe to use it?
    Thanks in advance...

    It is safe to use, some antivirus and antispy applications flag it simply because of it's nature in scanning/removing. If it's in our procedures or on our site then I assure you it's perfectly fine.

    Bigarrick,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. I know you people are to be trusted but I wanted to be sure about the specific program...

    I understand! I like to be sure on certain things as well. Like I said, if it's on MG's and we use it then there is no need to worry.
