Has Buritos been removed?

Yes, I opened the stupid UPS email (since I just mailed a package).

Yes, I got the stupid Braviax and it's cousins, Buritos and Karina.

Yes, I fell for the Windows prompt and ordered the fake Spyware protection.

And yes, I figured out what really happened!

SO --

This is all I have done and it appears that the malware is gone --

I purchased and downloaded Spyhunter

I ran it several times,... It said that the malware had been removed. But, of course, it came back everytime I rebooted.

Since Buritos kept coming back, I downloaded the Combo Fix. I renamed it and ran it a couple of times with mixed results (never seemed to finish).

Then, on my own, I decided to do system restore to the day before and Voila! There appears to be no more Braviax,... No more Buritos, and no more malicious tray icons. The other thing that kept happening before was that picture viewing was disabled in Explorer -- and this is fixed too.

So AM I DONE? If system restore was so helpful in getting rid of the malware, why don't more people suggest it?

Please advise... I want to be sure I'm fixed.

Thanks in advance.

 

OK... I am currently running Malwarebytes... still scanning.

But I noticed that I cannot do the updates. It is asking about a firewall. But I only used an old Norton firewall (as far as I know) which appears to be disabled.

Is there a way to see if I have another firewall running? I know windows firewall indicates that it is not turned on and McAfee is not active.

Is it possible that the malware disabled the old (outdated) Norton Internet Security that I had?

Thanks.

OK.... I have tried to post/attach both logs.

They sound promising.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks again! :wave

 

Sorry... Here's the other one.

I still can not do an update on MalwareBytes.

Any guess as to what could be blocking the access?

Thanks.

 

The reason for the inability to access the internet was because of my old Norton software. It has been out of date for a while, but was my only existing firewall. Somewhere in the infection it was compromised OR somewhere in the cure, it was disabled. But it held onto some level of control. When I ran a Symantics file to eliminate all traces of Norton, the problem stopped and malwarebytes (and McAfee) were suddenly able to access the Internet. I guess that means problem solved.

As for cleaning up per your instructions, the reg edit went in just fine. But I'm not sure if I need to do any of the second half of your instructions. I did use Combo Fix, but that appears to have vanished with my System Restore. Do you think there is anything else I need to do?

You have been a great help. Thanks so much for your time and interest.
