This menu on a computer acts as a life line for trouble shooting your device. This menu can be accessed by hitting F8 or F12 on your computer once it initially boots. On new computers that use Windows 8, this menu is accessed through the advanced options menu on the settings menu. If you find that your computer has a virus or other issues, the Advanced menu options allows you to boot in "Safe Mode." Safe Mode is a quarantined environment that allows you to run different programs such as virus scan's to detect if any files have been corrupted. Safe Mode with Networking allows you to have network access while maintaining a safe environment. You can use process of elimination while in this state to zero in on the root cause of the problem. If you want to restore your computer back to the last known good configuration, the Advanced menu gives you that option.
