Hi

I've downloaded all software needed to find the malware in my desktop.
However when i try to log in using safe mode (i tap F8 a few times when it is
starting) nothing happens. It starts with normal windows. Is there another
way?

Start>Run>msconfig [enter]

On the BOOT.INI tab, check the /SAFEBOOT option, and then click OK and
restart your computer when prompted. The computer restarts in Safe Mode.
After you're finished working in Safe Mode, go back to msconfig and uncheck
the /SAFEBOOT option to get back to Regular Mode.
