Virus or Trogan?

[hbconnor]

Please help me!!
I have a jacked up desktop computer with these specs:
ASUS P5N-e motherboard
Phoenix Tech BIOS ver 2.4
Intel P4 3GHz processor
4 Gb RAM
250 Gb SATA Hard Drive
Radeon X700 Pro Video
Windows XP Home SP3

I have Comcast internet and the Nortons virus protection they offer for free.

There are some of the issues I have:
1. Computer will go into blue screen of death and reboot
2. Computer starts up very slow (about 5 minutes to fully boot)
3. I can not get Nortons to start up, even after reinstalling 3 times.
4. I run msconfig and see a startup item called burito.exe (I have been told is some sort of Trogan Horse)
I also have STOPzilla and CCleaner and can not get either to find the burito file(s)

If anyone has any input to help me improve my computer thanks in advance.

Hi,welcome to MT

burito.exe is an executable file installed by WinReanimator which is a fake anti-spyware program that installs on your computer.It will report false detections and try and get you to buy the software to get rid of them.What it does is though is download buritos.exe and other malware to your system folders.

Please go to this link https://malwaretips.com/forums/malware-removal-assistance-for-windows.10/ and post your problem and someone will help you with the removal process

WinReanimator is old and eazy to detect , so I wondering if Norton was turned off ,
or realtime disabled because Norton deteacts and removes WinReanimator with little to know effort

He could not get Norton to startup so I would assume this is how it went undetected.However he should go to the removal assistance section and submit logs to make sure he isnt infected with this or something else.I believe other malware masks itself as burrito.exe so it might be something else.The BSOD's and restarts,Antivirus not starting and slowdown are symptoms of some kind of malware.This should be the first thing to rule out.

Agreed , its likely WinReanimator will not be the only infection if norton was not running,
forgive me english is not my first language,
