  2. Virus...NOOOOO!

    Then its not a virus, i thought its a little strange that a virus was still going in safe mode. But i dont know what to suggest it could be? Are you using the same pc to connect to the internet, just with a linux partition?

    Nasty virus/malware - dont know what - **NASTY**

    I dont even bother scanning the HDD on the unit that has a virus anymore (client PC's) i just pull em and scan em on my test bench faster than dicking around with safe mode and an infected environment.

    New PC DRM!

    You mean:

    Pirated
    Step 1: Find Pirated version.
    Step 2: Download (which takes far longer than all the waiting for saving would take if your internet connection truly is slow)
    Step 3: Scan downloaded copy with anti-virus.
    Step 4: Install and pray hard that it isn't virus infected
    Step 5: Install the pirating bit and pray some more that it isn't a virus
    Step 6: Enjoy with above worries
    Step 7: Save
