When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

I would appreciate any advice on starting my compute in safe mode. I have a System Tools Virus and am trying to follow the directions on how to fix it, but my computer will not let me get into safe mode. I have tried restarting it while pushing F8 and going to the start menu, selecting run, opening msconfig, but nothing happens. I have malwarebytes on my computer, but I am not able to open anything.

Please Help!

Good Evening,

This is what I found here on BC. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/create-floppy-boot-disk-in-windows/ You need a boot disk.
