Shutting off the wifi and then booting in safe mode should work. Worked for me when I had to fix someone else’s computer.

Nice! I've never had to go that far or try that approach, but I'll certainly remember it. I cleaned the FBI once but was able to get into safe mode with networking without a problem.

I'd generally do whatever I had to do to get combofix to run on a computer with an infection that bad. Combofix generally wants to have an internet connection though.

FBI is very scary but that’s the trick to it. It’s not hard to remove from safemode.
