Depending on which variant of Brontok is present, there is a removal tool for that at http://wirusy.antivirenkit.pl/en/szczepionki/Brontok.html
You may also want to stop Windows from the auto-reboot by doing the following:
Right click on My Computer, select properties
Select the Advanced tab
Click the Startup and Recovery button
Clear the checkbox marked "Automatically Restart" under System failure.
I would also recommend, if you haven't already, a full system sweep for spyware using adaware SE (free) and Spybot S&D (also free).
Hope that helps.

Removal Tool against Brontok, have someone download it for you and put it on a Rewritable CD or DVD, when you get windows running, use the tool.

When you remove it , you need to disable "system restore". Otherwise, it will still be present there.
