Due to a friend having x number of viruses (so far i've noticed 3 possible infections lol..) im trying to put antivirus software on (why oh why she didnt have it before..?!) however it crashes on boot and thus only way is to run it in safe mode.. any suggestions because most AV programs i've tried wont install in safe mode

are you using windows xp?
if so use the roll-back feature.
called: system restore, it works on safe mode

she's usin 2000

eep! Windows ME or 2000?

2000... id be even more disappointed if it was ME lol.. worst tho.. it's on a 500MHz lol.. and the ampount of RAM was low but i cant for the life of me remember

have you tryed to remove few programs and then try defragging it. If That Dosent Help You Could Always Ask For Help On Microsoft Support.

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

yea good idea, i never used one, i have never use one, but i belive there quite effective

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.
