I am not able to start my computer in safe mode. I have
tried the f8 key and shift key (which worked before).
Neither work and I have a discusting virus I need to get
off of this machine. Any suggestions?

Thanks dg
 
Using the System Configuration Utility. If you can start the computer normally
into Windows, then this is the easiest way to restart the computer in Safe mode.
To configure the System Configuration Utility to start the computer in Safe
mode:
1. Close all open programs.
2. Click Start, and then click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
3. Type msconfig and then click OK.
4. The System Configuration Utility appears. Check the "/SAFEBOOT" option, and
then click OK.
5. You then see the prompt to restart the computer. Click Restart.
The computer restarts in Safe mode. (This can take several minutes.)
When you finish troubleshooting (in Safe mode) repeat these steps, but in step
4, uncheck "/SAFEBOOT," and then close all programs and restart the computer as
you normally would.
