Darn, they should shoot the people fram twaintech. What a difficult virus to
get rid off. It plagued me for days. Ad-aware, spybot and spy sweeper all
recognize it, say they remove it but in no time it is back.

Only after I let my search take place in hidden files and folders as well, I
found a large number of cab and inf and dll files, either called mxtarget or
twaintec occupying my local settings/temp folder. removed those and the
virus stayed a way until now (half a day.).

I'll hope for the best. It's people that put stuff like that on yr computer
that make you wish to be in power in order to issue laws forbidding it, have
the secret service chase them and incarcerate them in guantanamo. Keys to be
thrown away.
Perhaps we should keep the al ghraib prison for these people. Not necessary
to get new staff ihn the prison, just keep the current ones.

Do you browse the internet with scripting and ActiveX wide open?
Some of these infestations are symptoms of unsafe computing
practices, you get rid of the symptom - and it comes back - because
you failed to address the underlying problem.

I'm not sure that is the case here, but it is worth looking into.

Thanks for your advice. I am not sure if I have that open but will look into
it. Having said that, I already managed to clean my PC as I found two
processes running: "syczjmtjzbxl.exe" and "tdlelxt.exe" strangely enough I
had not seen them before (Hijackthis). stopped these, removed all
occurrences of these files from disk and registry and that worked. Have not
been bothered anymore.
I realize that it is only symptomatologie. I think I know where I picked
them up and I now have some stuff installed that should warn me before these
nasties can download themselves.

What I find mindboggling is the fact that apparently some of these scumware
distributers thinks that their victems enjoy the adds that are being popped
up. I just don't understand it.

Next time may be far worse if you don't learn some "safe hex":

I have been unable to remove this crap from my system as well. The
web site www.mx-targeting.com has a page with remval instructions, but
the instructions either do not apply or they do not work. The file
just keeps reinstalling itself.

I have opened a complaint with the Internet Fraud Centre & the FBI.

Visit their web site at www.ifccfbi.gov

Perhaps if enough people complain to the FBI something will be done
about this type of activity.
