How do I remove Cidox-A rootkit

[REDACTED]

So this infection is probably real? There is nothing that can remove it? Is it safe for my step dad to use the internet for email and paying bills online? Do you have any other input I should consider? Thanks Eagle for all the work and help you have given... I really appreciate it

The aswmbr scan saw it too.

aswMBR is a avast rootkit tool   

this is what you read at top of aswMBR log

aswMBR version 1.0.1.2041 Copyright(c) 2014 AVAST Software

So this infection is probably real?

I am having Avast run a boot time scan right now... I see it has already the threat of concern.. it says.. "C:\cmdcons\bootsect.dat is infected by Boot:Cidox-A [Rtk]" I will post the aswBoot.txt log in next reply after the scan is finished and the system boots up

Here is the Avast boot scan log... I had Avast attempt to delete the Cidox-A rootkit.. but the file system shield just popped up as I am typing saying it blocked a threat.. Cidox of course... have any more input or suggestions?
