To remove "Twain-Tec" go to "Add/Remove Programs" => Uninstall
"Twain-Tech". Reboot the computer to SAFE mode. Delete
%windir%\twaintech.dll and twaintec.ini. If twaintech.dll is in use,
then rename it, reboot the computer, and delete it.
For an alternative removal method, see
http://www.twain-tech.com/uninstall.htm:
" a) To permanently disable the software click "Start" and then "Run"
and type the following command which unregisters the software: regsvr32
c:\windows\twaintec.dll"
b) To completely remove the software: reboot and then Find and Delete
the file mxtarget.dll. "
You can download and run HiJackThis.exe and manually remove these items
if found:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0000607D-D204-42C7-8E46-216055BF9918} - (no file)
should point to mxtarget.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0000607D-D204-42C7-8E46-216055BF9918} -
C:\WINDOWS\mxTarget.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: MxTargetObj Class - {0000607D-D204-42C7-8E46-216055BF9918} -
