This playpickle malware/virus is killing me

[Mendicus]

There's a thread on this already, but I don't even know were to find the registrys listed to eliminate them, so I could really use some navigation tips. I've run SBS&D as well as CCleaner, Avast Anti Virus, and RootAlyzer to no avail. I'm running an older Thinkpad with recently swapped out guts, so it has very little on it. I deleted firefox so now all I have for browsers are IE and Chrome. My OS is Windows XP (which sadly I don't have a backup disc for, or I'd wipe the drive). I hope someone can provide easy to follow instructions on how to remove this. I'll be forever grateful.

Here is the other thread that references playpickle:

I found one more thread that references playpickle, so perhaps this holds the answer, but I hope not, it sounds like a nightmare to remove.

Hello Mendicus,

In case you missed it please see the FAQ which also includes guidelines for this forum and instructions in post #2 on how to provide the preliminary DDS and aswMBR logs used for analysis.

Then start a new topic providing the DDS and aswMBR logs as shown in that sticky with a link back to this thread and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available. :)

Best regards.
