    I would think the reason you would want to boot into safe mode is to see if you can get rid of the virus? Is this correct? This would be the only reason I would want to boot into safe mode, is to run a virus scan.

    Well I would have to give my best advice and say if the virus has forbidden you to get into safe mode it is time to reinstall the Operating system.
    You think you are watching them, when in reality they are watching you. . .
