hello guys, I have a serious problem here, yesterday, my pc was infected with a virus even though at all I downloaded the last application on my PC it was Original because I downloaded it on Steam, but a few minutes later my PC was infected with a virus, I also don't know because of Antivirus (malwarebytes ) suddenly notified that my PC was infected with a virus called Spyware track cookies,and I was told by my friend to print photos that are on my PC, but my PC is in safe mode, if I turn off safe mode, that virus will be able to control my PC again, so whether printing works in safe mode, please answer asap (sorry for my bad english)

    No, you can not print in Safe Mode.  The Print Spooler is one of the services that is disabled in Safe Mode.

    If you have MalwareBytes Premium, it is surprising that your computer is infected; MalwareBytes should have caught and quarantined the malware.

    I suggest that you start in Safe Mode with Networking and run a MalwareBytes scan (even if you only have the free version, this should detect and quarantine the malware).

    If you are still infected despite running MalwareBytes, I suggest that you ask for help in ONE of the following specialist forums AFTER reading the "before you post" instructions):
