Okay, I really need help here. I was in a tension right now. My brother used my laptop and downloaded a virus. Well, I scanned my PC for virus (I will create another thread on the other for it) and I found some. On the folder options, I enable an option to show hidden files and drives and also show protected system files. I'm so nervous when I saw Boot.ini was not on C:! Oh no please help. All I see is the pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys and those folders (which are normal). But the I can't see the Boot.ini anymore, please help! Thanks!

PS: Whenever I scan my PC, it says that it scanned the boot sector with 0 files. Is it normal?
