Now we've disabled and eliminated Brontok on your system in under 5 minutes.

If you have CCleaner, launch it and go to Tools | Startups and delete all Brontok startup entries in case we've missed something.

Time to do a Full Scan of your system.  I suggest you use Malwarebytes.

For the removal of the other infected files in your external HDD you can perform a scan right away or wait for the third part of the tutorial.  We'll be using Explorer to remove the remaining Brontok worms plus I'll teach a quick method of deletion for Windows XP users.
