-=PCTechTalk=- Re: twaintec.dll

I had a file on my computer that is called the same name as a spyware file. I
wrote to pest patrol to ask about it. They said that there are several versions
of the same file. I don't remember what file that was though - and that some are
good and some are bad. Go figure!
Didn't spybot or adaware give you the option to run at start up? they often will
do that to get rid of a file that is being used.

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?
