I recently installed anti-virus software, and now my computer just keeps
restarting without windows completely loading. I tried to press F8 when I
turn on the computer, but it does not give me the safe mode options. What can
i do?

You have to tap the F8 key rapidly during the early stages of the
startup in order to access the startup menu.

Good luck

This can also act as a form of stress release (but your F8 key may never
function properly again!)

My keyboard has the world's toughest F8 key. :-)
