Hi all! I have been hit with Offeroptimizer pop-ups and more, it seems. I followed all instructions to the letter, except downloading CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller removal tool, as the link did not seem to work. Still getting the pop-ups. Here's my Hijack log:

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!

Hello,zachmorris

First if you are running HJT from the desktop please
move it to C:\ in a folder like so C:\HJT\Hijack This.exe
because HJT makes backups for you then run a new scan

but please make sure you have no other Windows open
when you run HJT

HGD Very Happy
