When you boot up in SAFE MODE, most of your drivers will not load up. That's
the whole point of SAFE MODE. No drivers. Unfortunately, this will limit what
you can do. For one, you can't go online cause your modem and/or network card
drivers will not be loaded. So, definition updates for your spyware/adware
scanners, and antivirus scanners need to be done in NORMAL mode first. THEN you
can go to SAFE MODE.
Regarding using Symantec Corp online from the school's site... that's probably
why it doesn't work... its online and you can't go online. If its not installed
on your own system, under a standard SAFE MODE boot-up, you will not be able to
employ it.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- safe mode question + antivirus question
Hi everyone,
I use win xp and I tried shutting down and starting up in safe mode, did
"clean up" and ran my spybot and adaware Se programs. I then went to scan
with antivirus program but could not find it? Also my adaware wanted to
update definitions and I could not go online in safe mode?
I did what I could and restarted back in normal mode and my antivirus is
there. I use the symantics corporation version antivirus from online at my
school's site, Virginia Tech. Is that why it wont show on safe mode?
I also had a question about my virus program as it quaranteed a virus a few
weeks ago. Do I leave it in quarantee, it says I had one item there and I
see them. I thought I deleted the files, cannot even remember now?
Thanks,
christy
