sometimes a virus is not only on your drive but opened by windows and running in background. When you boot up in the safe mode only drivers and programs needed to run windows in it's basic mode are installed. If you run virus detector in safe mode and find a virus you should be able to delete since it is not in use. If you had booted up normally the virus would of been running making it harder to delete it. Most times when a virus is found and in use it has to be rebooted so windows can delete the virus before it boots all the way up into the desktop.

In safe mode, the computer loads only the basics that it needs to run, such as basic display drivers, mouse drivers, and basic systems. In many cases, a virus will not run unless the complete operating system starts up, which occurs when you do a normal boot. By running in safe mode, the virus might not run, which means that it cannot protect itself from the anti virus software, thus allowing you to get rid of it.
when your in safe mode your offline, to any progs phoning home for help,so the anti virus can remove any bad stuff and it can't use online resources to hide somewhere else
