I'm not sure how to get rid of the stealth boot virus, I've never had it but I'm guessing that it opens during the boot process of your computer. One thing you could try is going to Start>run> and type msconfig. On the window that opens up go to startup then you can go to Google or some other search engine and type in the name of the startup items to see if any are not supposed to be there. Otherwise there are a couple programs out there that allow you to see what programs open at starup, you could find one that isn't supposed to be there. I hope this helps
