Often when we are cleaning a machine really infested with spyware we start
doing so in Safe Mode. As of current version this is not allowed.

Also I recommend changing the layout a bit to make it easier to view the
screens when in safe mode.

Thanks! The software is a wonderful addition to MS products.
 
I just re-read my first message... sorry my suggestion was so ambiguous!

Yes, it would be nice to be able to install in safe mode... even if just
partially. On some machines (I work in a tech shop) they are just so
infected they will not boot in regular mode. So we start out booting in
safe mode (with networking) and installing Ad-Aware and Spybot Search &
Destroy. After those two other automatic cleaners, we see if we can boot
into regular mode and load MS AntiSpyware. After all those we use HiJackThis
to clean what "just doesn't look right" :)

Thanks,

-Tim
