Hey my laptop just got hit with deviantart.com's latest virus and now it will only start in startup recovery mode. I ran a hardware diagnostic from the boot screen, it didn't find anything. The command prompt is available on the system recovery menu. Is there anything I can do with that to fix my problem? I would really prefer not to format my hard drive.
Download this,
Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.50.1 - FileHippo.com
install it, update the database and run a FULL scan.
You can also use ;

and if you have access to another machine, download and burn this to disk, then boot from it;

Could you not download and burn Avira AntiVir Rescue System visiting a friend or neighbor? As this is a scanning system at boot, you would not have problems accessing the system.
try roguekiller here RogueKiller , it kills the process only then use malware
okay i'm at home now and on a different computer. how do i start in safe mode if i don't have access to my msconfig? that's the only way i've ever booted in safe mode. I know it's F8, but when?
alright tried it, kept hitting f8 from when it checked the disk drive to the login screen. nothin
okay i'm at the System Recovery Options screen and i have the command prompt up
