Default Won't start in safe mode

I tried to start the computer with the ctri or F8 held
down and the menue to enter safe mode did not appear, it
just started up.

I need to run anti-virus and spyware in safe mode.

How can I do this.

Help.

Run msconfig.exe, click the advanced button, mark: Enable startup menu,
click OK and at reboot, the menu should appear so you can choose safe mode.
