Question: Can I install software in Windows safe mode?

Answer:

Depends on the software. If a software installation relies on something that is disabled in Safe Mode, then it will not install correctly. In addition, some software will not let you. For example, Norton Anti-Virus will not allow you.

If you boot up in Safe Mode with Networking, you can also browse the internet. For example, you can frequently browse to http://www.trendmicro.com and use their free online virus scanning software to remove viruses that have disabled your computer.
