    Ok, so for some reason my PC is starting in safe mode and I can't get it back to normal. I have run virus check , spyware, adaware and every other freaking system check you can think of and nothing is showing wrong. I just want it back to normal.

    Depending on what version of windows you have... go to DOS ( or RUN) and type in MSCONFIG.EXE

    In the startup options, start turning things off. Antivirus, firewall, everything. See if it boots back in normal. If/when it does, start turning on programs one by one.

    Note, if it's a virus, sometimes you have to stop the program WHILE it's running too, otherwise you turn it off and it turns right back on. To do that, run task manager (Ctrl/Alt/Delete) and see how many weird-named items you can flip off.

    This is a simplified explanation, I can't help more without more details on which version of windows you have (with XP, for instance, you can restore to an earlier day by going into Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Restore)
