Here's what I got after what the thread says to do..
Also, my system did not find twaintec or any variant of it. I do have a twain.dll and twain32.dll folders, which I left alone, accdg to what the thread said. I ran stinger, found a lot, fixed them. I ran cwshredder, found some, fixed them. I ran adaware and spybot, found some, fixed them. I did all of the above accdg to the instruction on the thread. And now, here's my hijackthis log:
