Run in safe mode

When removing nasties I allways see that it's best to run in safe mode to remove these bad boy's, WHY? What is the reason for this?

Edit: Never mind but for those, like me, isn't sure why here is the explanation:

Spyware and adware vendors often use resuscitators, files that work to keep the adware/spyware infection active no matter how hard you - or the scanners - try to remove it. Booting into Safe Mode allows only the most essential processes to activate. While this won't guarantee all adware/spyware resuscitators will be killed, it does ensure the vast majority will be.

I think that's so right, I once installed a later version of Messenger Plus and Adaware found a folder called C2Media in Windows. I could only remove it, using Safe Mode.

In safe mode, you can't hear windows scream.....
