I know your issue quite well.
I have been going through many antivirus installations and all failed.

Basically to work it out you NEED to boot in safe mode.

I used this little software from MoonValleySoft.com, Safe Mode Fixer:

It does the job, then it is up to you to reinstall the antivirus in safe mode.
I am usually not into commercial software for this kind of issues but i have to admit it helped me.
The guys at MoonValleySoft told me they are releasing the Vista version any moment.

sorry to bother you, i tried the /safeboot and did not work, it is not a matter of INI or startup files.
btw i bought that safe mode fixer, it works, do not know how but it works
