How to Run Virus Scan in Safe Mode

Safe mode is a diagnostic mode used to trace and solve computer problems that cannot be fixed in the regular booting mode. Booting your computer in safe mode prevents many programs and malicious tools from automatically loading up during startup. Safe mode will allow you to delete a virus successfully because it stops it from running in the background. A powerful virus can easily dodge your antivirus and can prevent its detection when you run a virus scan. It is because the virus is running like any other normal application or process in the background when your computer is in the normal mode.

Suppose your system doesn’t boot up correctly, chances are that it may have a virus. It is recommended that you start your computer in safe mode and run a virus scan.
