    Hi, was wondering if there is any way to be able to install Microsoft AntiSpyware in safe mode? I can't even get my computer to allow me to use it in regular bootup. AntiSpyware has been good to me so far as a last resort so I'm hoping there is a way. I've tried Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, HJT, CWShredder, Kill2Me, SmitRem, CCleaner. Still having trouble so I want to get MS Antispyware installed. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have already tried to make an installer using the /a switch, that didn't work either.

    No, it will not install in Safe Mode.

    What problems are you having exactly?

    Well, what happens is when I start up the computer, it goes until you see the deskop and the taskbar, then about 2 seconds after that, explorer.exe is killed. Can't run task manager, can't do anything. I know I had spy sherrif, followed the instructions to remove that, also followed the instructions for generic removal, no luck on either one. Another thing I tried was while is safe mode, making it so on startup microsoft antispyware's install was started, which works but as soon as explorer.exe is killed, that is too. If you need log files, I can try to get them, but it will take a long time as the computer can't get online (not due to virus's) and I would have to handtype them all. Please let me know if there is anything else I can try or if I am forgetting to do try something.
    Thanks,
    Jeff
