Can anyone recommend me any Boot Time Anti Virus Scanner?

What exactly do you mean? One that scans the computer while it boots? This hasn't really been necessary since then Windows 98 days

coz i feel more secured using a boot time virus scanner.

I think avast can be configured to do a boot time scan, if you open it up the go Settings>Schedule boot time scan, then it will scan your PC the next time you start it up
