A hidden piece of malware such as a rootkit which protects other malicious files and registry keys may not be detected in either mode without the use of special tools. Additionaly, if the scanner you're using does not include definitions for the malware, then they may not detect or remove it regardless of what mode is used.
Also keep in mind that there are various types of malware infections which target the safeboot keyset so booting into safe mode is not always possible. Posted 30 May - PM Greetings, Can someone say please if these advises ares till available today, after almost 5 years?

If you already had an antivirus program active on your computer, you should use a different scanner for this malware check, since your current antivirus software may not have detected the malware. Remember, no antivirus program can detect percent of the millions of malware types and variants. There are two types of antivirus programs.
Another option is an on-demand scanner, which searches for malware infections when you open the program manually and run a scan. You should have only one real-time antivirus program installed at a time, but you can have many on-demand scanners installed to run scans with multiple programs, thereby ensuring that if one program misses something a different one might find it.
If you think your PC is infected, we recommend using an on-demand scanner first and then following up with a full scan by your real-time antivirus program. To get started, download it. If you disconnected from the internet for safety reasons when you first suspected that you might be infected, reconnect to it so you can download, install, and update Malwarebytes; then disconnect from the internet again before you start the actual scanning.
After downloading Malwarebytes, run the setup file and follow the wizard to install the program. Once the program opens, it will automatically activate a trial of the paid version that enables real-time scanning. In the meanwhile, you can disable the real-time scanning for those two weeks if you prefer.
To run a scan, switch from the Dashboard tab to the Scan tab. It should check for updates before it runs the scan, but make sure that happens before you proceed.
