    Hi

    is it better to run programs like SUPERAntiSpyware/SpyBot/Malwarebytes in safe mode ? e.g: will they catch more "bad guys" if I run them in safe mode ?

    it doesn't say that here, or did I miss it ?

    same question about anti virus programs - should I try to run scans in safe mode ?


    thanks
    Linda

    No...you should try to run them all in normal mode.....we only tell you to run them in safe mode if you can not do them in normal mode.
