I have gotten this spyware called "OfferOptimizer", which makes popups appear. I have run Spybot S&D 3, Adaware, and virus scan, but it just won't go away. I searched this forum and google, and blocked it in the hosts file, but cant remove it so I posted here.

This is my hijackthis log:

I hope you can help me remove this spyware.

Thank You very much

I tried to delete TwainTec, but It keeps coming back. Lately, I have been hearing this clicking noise when I start up my computer. I had thought it was a corrupt sound file or something. I have seen Twain before, but I thought it was for Photoshop, because when I run Photoshop, it says "Building twain menu items". So I looked on my C:\Windows\ and found many twain files and Folders. In one folder, I saw a .wav file named "click.wav". I double click on it. It opens a popup and INSTALLS Lycos side search, ISTbar, and PowerScan. But, when I click record, and play, It makes the same sound I heard when I start my computer.

As you can see this is a very big problem. I really need help. Thank You

Removing OfferOptimizer...one way...
As of 6/28/04, I had the same experience running Windows XP Pro. Searched all over and found that it was also related to a Twain-Tech application. Here's what I finally did to get rid of it...

1. Tried SpyBot - Search and Destroy. That didn't really get rid of it but it did help identify the problem files. Turns out there were two suspect dlls that I had (your mileage may vary) that I had to get rid of. You have to unregister them both then delete their existence from your system. If you only unregister one of them, it seems they remake their files and reregister themselves on your next reboot. The files in question were: mxtarget.dll and twaintec.dll

2. To unregister them I went to a command console and typed the following:

c:\> regsvr32 /u mxtarget.dll
c:\> regsvr32 /u twaintec.dll

3. Then I searched my entire system for the occurrence of mxtarget and twaintec and deleted anything which had those filenames. There were cab files, dlls, stuff in a prefetch directory and other places... deleted them all.

4. Finally rebooted. Since then, seems I'm lucky enough to not have to deal with that again.

I'd also suggest searching Twaintec. There seems to be a lot of good info on removing this as well.

Good luck!
