Invulnerability From twaintec.dll

I have manually (without AV) looked at my PC for viruses and I found a nasty little bugger called twaintec.dll.It is responsible for killing Num Lock at the login screen and terminating alot of AVs and applications on XP.To get complete invulnerability,paste this into AUTOEXEC.BAT.

c:
cd windows
del twaintec.dll

It deletes the DLL before it's loaded into memory,and if you leave AUTOEXEC.BAT like that it will stop it from ever appearing.As far as I know,it only infects XP machines,but I would recommend everyone to do this.

 

{000020DD-C72E-4113-AF77-DD56626C6C42} X BHO twaintec.dll TwainTech adware http://www.sysinfo.org/bholist.php?filter=twaintec.dll&count=&type=

I dont think a one simple adware dll could be resposible for all those symtom's

You could post a Hijackthis log, provided anti adware/spyware programs have already been ran , Adaware and SpyBot and yo have rebooted since then.
Actualy SpywareBlaster will protect you from it installing in the first place


Post a log from HijackThis so our forum members can see
what's going on. The current version is 1.97.7 [created by merijn bellekom]
Most of what it lists will be harmless, even essential,DON'T fix anything yet please.

First make a new folder, for instance C:\Antispyware

Get it here HijackThis Ver-1.97.7 choose save, NOT OPEN
Save it to that new folder, double-click HijackThis.exe,
and hit "Scan ". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, It will load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here.
Close hijackthis and notepad.

 

Interesting idea Gizmoguy.

But given that XP does not uses autoexec.bat at startup (and usually doesn't even have such a file, autoexec.nt normally does the job if a 16bit app needs the file in order to operate) I fail to see how it will help you very much.

You can create an autoexec.bat file and you can put what you want inside of it but you cannot make any NT system use it as part of their startup routine.

Twain-tech is certainly spyware - BHO to be specific - and something you'd be better off without and the method you posted might work on 9X/ME systems.

It is not a virus though and no AV app I'm aware of would find it. Nor would it mess with your AV app.

Actually,XP doesn't defaultly use AUTOEXEC.BAT,but once data has been entered in it,XP executes the commands.
