Here’s how to remove Brontok virus.
Found a lot of free removal tools you can use to easily remove Brontok virus.
1. CompactbyteAV
2. GData Anti…Worm
3. Sophos BRONTGUI
4. Kaspersky Brontok Removal Tool
5. BitDefender Brontok Removal Tool
6. Brontok Washer(Most Effective against Brontok Virus)
7. OgAV
Choose to run either one to clean Brontok virus from your system. If you have the time, you can run all of them but not at the same time. Do it one by one just to be 100% sure that Brontok virus is completely removed. but scan and remove only in safe mode by pressing F8 key

Yes, some viruses take up a lot of space.
The best thing for you to do to make sure that this virus is completely removed, is to do a clean installation on your hard drive.
If you do decide to do a clean installation, I recommend you make a backup of everything you need (files, drivers, etc)
Hope this helped

Then you must install CLAMWIN.
ClamWin is a Free Antivirus for Microsoft Windows
that uses the GNU General Public License by the Free Software
Foundation and is free (as in freedom) software.
There is a portable version of ClamWin where it can be install into an USB thumb drive.
First use another PC to download Clamwin portable anti-virus
and install Clamwin portable on a USB thumb drive.

Set the preferences to delete virus.
Boot up the infected PC in safe mode [press F8 during boot up].
Use the USB thumb drive with Clamwin Anti-virus installed to scan the infected PC.
Scan all hard drives for viruses.
