    Update your antivirus software

    See your current antivirus software is able to detect this Worm.JS.Mountoni on your computer system that means it should be able to delete this Worm.JS.Mountoni from your computer system but it is not doing the same. According to me the problem is with the updates. You need to update your antivirus software for removing this worm from your computer system.

    For removing this Worm.JS.Mountoni from your computer system first of all you need to update your antivirus software if it is not updates. After that delete the original worm files and then delete all the copies of the worm from the hard disk. %Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WinBoot.js
    %System%\jokes.txt.js
    And the last step updates the antivirus database and scans your computer system for any related malicious code.
