We understand that rebooting the computer into SAFE MODE after
learning of a virus will get RID of that virus and others that may
seep into the system.

Are there any tasks/tricks to execute WHILE being in Safe Mode
before one reboots BACK to the normal OS setting?

If not, we were just wondering....thanks!
