Why is it better to start up in Safe Mode if you have malware that is preventing proper boot up?

if can reboot normally "somwhat"...is this better than doing this in "Safe Mode"? why would want it in safe mode?





(if plan on running malware scan and virus scane)





please explain what you can





thanks for your answerrs!|||"Para" and "Scharf" gave pretty good answers.



Keep in mind that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) is the exception to that rule.



MBAM was designed to be run in normal mode.

Run MBAM in safe mode *only* if malware is preventing it from running in normal mode.



Rather than list several sources, I'll point you to another question where I did list several:



http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>|||An operating system's safe mode will have reduced functionailty, because many non-core components are turned off, so many problems are isolated.


However, nowadays, some malware can even be running in safe mode, in this case, you will need to use a bootable antimalware CD to get rid of malware that preventing you from properly booting up your computer.|||This is because when you boot normally, lots of processes startup and run.





In safe mode, only the necessary essentials run. Typically malware/spyware falls in the realm of the startup processes that kick off when booting normally....like a rundll or something.





Thus, In safe mode you have the best chance to scan and eradicate malware.





Hope that clears things up a bit|||most services are not started when booting safemode, including network services. this prevents most malware from running and blocking your anti-malware programs.
