RE: Removal of Boot Sector Virus
Ok well you say it’s being run from the Winboot file. Which is win.ini in the Windows folder.

Boot into dos and at the C:\ type:

edit C:\Windows\win.ini

you should be brought into a dos editor kind of like notepad but more UNuserfriendly and its blue. 

You will see a bunch of typing. Look for a line with the word run in it. Followed by the word run you should see your virus's run path. One you have found and deleted (erased) the virus from the editor press ALT DOWNARROW then the file menu should open up. Navigate to the save option in the menu with the arrow keys and press enter. Once saved press ALT DOWNARROW and go to exit and press enter. That should work if like you said and it is in the win.ini file.
