Also while in your safe mode try to scan the whole system as well just to sure that you remove totally the problem.

Recently their is a virus which makes your drive's D,E partitions
unreadable. Simply connect your hard drive to any other pc as
slave. In windows explorer enable show hidden files and you will
get your data.
