It's important to take immediate action to get rid of it, as it can cause serious damage to your computer and compromise your personal information.

One option is to try using a reputable anti-virus software to scan your computer and remove the virus. However, since you mentioned that your current virus program cannot detect it, you may need to try a different program or seek professional help from a computer technician. They have specialized tools and knowledge to remove difficult viruses like dos.bootinfector.

In the meantime, you can try starting your computer in safe mode and then running a virus scan. This will limit the number of programs that are running and may make it easier for the anti-virus software to detect and remove the virus. You can also try using an online virus scanner to see if it can detect and remove the virus.

It's important to also make sure that you have a firewall installed and updated on your computer to prevent future infections. Additionally, be cautious when downloading files or clicking on links from unknown sources, as these can often contain viruses.
