Hi Coleen,
You will have to change the file association for your Photoshop files once
you are rid of the pest.

Spybot Search & Destroy created an entirely new version 2 weeks ago SS&S
V1.3
I downloaded my first update for it yesterday.

AdAware has also recently have a file update available.

I'm using the free version of both. How do I know if I have the most
up-to-date version? Both programs alerted me to the twaintec, (that's how I
knew I had it) but neither could remove it. (Said it was running in memeory
and couldn't be removed.) It doesn't appear in my add/remove list, either, 
so I couldn't do it that way - guess I will have to try that manual way. 

Here's the thing, though. Yesterday, I deleted "twaintec.dll" from
C:\windows, because I read somewhere it was part of this pest.  After that
is when I started having trouble with Photoshop. Now today, after I sent my
first message,  I checked C:\Windows and the twaintec.dll file has
regenerated itself. And now Photoshop is working again!  So now it seems
that this file has somehow attached to Photoshop, and I don't know if
following the complete removal steps for it is going to mess up Photoshop
again?
