no u see thats not the problem.. the problem is i need to remove the viruses but because of them it will not boot normally and thus must be placed in safe mode and hence needed a way of removing the viruses without any initial AV software (e.g. if there was a downloadable remover or some software that wud install while in safe mode as McAffee doesnt)

You can use an online scanner, like the one from panda

RE: Antivirus in Safe Mode
Only problem is that safe mode doesnt allow for internet connections. I believe norton has a scanner that lets you run it in safe mode.
