    Am having a problem with the "Antivirus soft trojan", and since I couldn't boot into safe mode, tried the below option listed in one of the threads.
    Now the computer just loops. Still won't go into safe mode and just keeps restarting, even when normal mode and last good config are selected.



    "go to msconfig ( click Start, Run, and then type in msconfig and hit Enter) the system configuration utility box comes up.

    You should see several tabs across the top. One of them, when selected, has, in the middle of the page, a box you can check that says "Safe Boot". . check that box, and then click Apply and Ok and it will prompt you to restart the computer. .

    do this, and then it will boot up in Safe Mode. ."

    You can try doing this> How to recover from a corrupt registry.

    If that doesn't work, and you can't still boot to either safe or normal mode, you have these choices:
    If you cannot boot in any mode ( safe or normal mode ) and you cannot run any of the READ & RUN ME there is not much we can do for you except suggest what is in the below quote box

    So I guess there is no way to sutn off the safe boot option I selected in msconfig without being able to boot the system?
    If I could undo that, I could at least get it to boot.

    You should pursue that in the software forum. :(
