Patience Larry. Like someone mentioned, tap on the F8 key as the computer begins to boot up. It has to be done BEFORE the Windows 98, 2000, XP screen appears.
Depending on the type of computer you own, there should be a some type of mesasge that appears on the black screen before Windows starts. It may say something like Press the F10 key to change setup (or something to that effect). At that point, just keep tapping the F8 key.
This should get you to a screen that says how do you want to start - Normal, safe Mode and some other choices. Use your arrow keys and select safe mode.
This starts up Windows with the bare minimum number of programs running. USUALLY, the offending program will not start and you can wipe it out using one of your anti-virus/adaware programs.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

i have tapped the crap out of f8, i have been to cyberlinkhelpwhatthef*** and still in the same place. I quit.....
You really shouldn't need to get into safe mode to fix your problem. Download, install and run CCLEANER. Then clean your registry with one of the free registry cleaners. Also, you may want to try a few different MALWARE removal applications because none of them remove every piece of malware found in cyberspace. I use both Spybot Search & Destroy AND Ad-Aware SE. The best solution is to replace your Windows PC with a MAC...

I THINK I GOT IT
