 Hi Louis,

 The *.PF files are prefetch files; they are not executable.  Renaming
 a *.PF file should not have such an effect.

 I recall reading that the latest version of the Microsoft Malicious 
Software Removal Tool
 removes this pest; check the date on c:\windows\system32\mrt.exe to
 see if it's dated this year, then run it.

 --Scott.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
