    I have a Dell PC
    Pent III 450 MHz
    512 RAM
    XP Home Edition SP2

    This started with a Browser Hijack and an alternating Yellow question mark and a blue circle with a yellow X in my system tray. From this I get a yellow ballon telling me a bout spyware activity and click this baloon to download all available antispyware etc.

    I started running the READ &RUN ME FIRST and when i got to the reboot in safe mode with networking I found that I am stuck in Safe Mode. I have tried several times to reboot in normal mode with no success.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    HI

    Goto Start > Run and type msconfig > hit enter or OK

    Then when the msconfig box comes up, click the General tab and choose Normal Startup > apply and reboot

    If that doesnt work... go back into msconfig and choose the BOOT INI tab and untick Safeboot > apply and reboot
