Is safemode really a must do?
to be honest, yes...
If you are infected you do not know with what you're infected. So you can't know in front if Safe Mode is required or not.
In other words, yes it is a must that you immediatly stop all activity in normal mode and boot up in safe mode and to a system wide check and cleanage.
Not to mention that extremely many virusses will actually cripple/disable/fool your virus scanner when you run it in normal mode!!
Even better would be to boot up from another OS if you have one installed and start with that and check your hard disk of the infected OS and clean that out, first. After that boot up in Safe Mode on the infected OS...
