I haver a trojan on my computer and I ticked Safe mode in Boot configuration
in msconfig.
Now the computer will not boot in safe mode and I cannot change the boot
configuation back to normal without going into msconfig.
How do I remove the Safe mode tick from msconfig when I can't boot up in any
mode?
Thanks

Have you tried tapping F8 right at startup to go int the list of startup
options, including Safe Mode?

How about booting from your CD?

If you can get F8 to work, I would select Last Known Good. You can run a
system restore from your install DVD if you have one.
