I think you need to update the antivirus of your computer and then you can try to scan your full system to find the virus and then delete it. It is important that you should update your antivirus in every regular interval of time. This can help you to protect your computer from the infection of virus and malware. And also you can go to the official site of your antivirus and there you can check out the update for your current one.

You can do the followint method which i have done to remove this virus file from the computer. You need to kill the related process in the task manager. Delete taskmgr in documents&settings\(user name), after that delete and kill "brontok.exe" from %temp% folder. Then you need to remove all the registry keys related to the "taskmgr.exe" file. If you find that they are not stored in the system 32 folder. then you need to delete boot.exe and autorun.inf in the root of every drive of your computer.

I think you need to remove any of the program files from the computer which are related to this file. To do this you need to go to the "Start," and then to the "Control Panel," after that in "Add/Remove Programs." There you need to remove any of the programs related to the "boot.exe". This will help you to remove all the related files and after that you can scan your computer to remove it completely.

You can also do these methods to remove it completely from the computer. To do this you need to go to the Windows Search and find the "boot.exe" file if exists on the hard drive. Go to "Start," and then to the "Search," after that check on "All Files and Folders." and Type "boot.exe" in search box in "All or Part of the File Name" section, click on "Search." button. If you find it delete it. You also need to end any of the boot.exe processes that are running using Windows Task Manager.
