Safemode: Is great for troubleshooting many computer issue that may occur when you just install software or hardware.  Safemode will only run very basic drivers on your computer and turns off virtual memory.

This is a great tool for removing all types of viruses, Malware and Ransomware that may plaque your computer.

Types of Safemode
