    After several unsuccessful attempts to rid my pc of Downloader.PF I am here to ask for help with this. My pc is running WinXP Home edition. The downloader was found but not elimintated when I used Panda to scan my system. I have turned off the System Recover and run several scans but cannot get rid of it. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help and tutorials. I was finally able to get rid of the trojans and malware. It took patience and time but I think all is back to normal. Thanks again!

    well...
    he was luckier than i am...
    i'm french, but normally i think i did all well ! :rolleyes:

    in fact there is one thing that didn't work : when i boot in safe mod, i don't have my internet connection, even if if take the networking support one. thus, i did the trend micro and symantec 'scan in normal mod.
    In fact, during all the scans that i had to perform durind the procedure, sometimes it was said i had nothing, and sometime that i had something, but never it was said that it was removed.

    When i do a scan from panda software, it still says that i have it.. the trojan downloader.pf ... grrr !
    don't know what to do !!!
    please help me :(
