All comments about mxtarget.dll: Remove it. A program for Twain-Tech adware  See also: Link   David Canova It sends many ad pop-ups, delete it asap.   Wes hijacks browser and lots of popups  See also: Link   Pops up crap in the taskbar, probably sends info off somewhere.   This program is very dangerous. NUKE IT!   Martin Dutton can't be deleted, adds popups and IE so-called helper bar   Julien Get rid of it, pops all kinds of stuff   hangs ad Aware during scan   karl t I've created a fix for this spyware, as Norton and Adaware could not do it. The file is triggerd by visiting a site, the file PreInsmt.exe is produced, and auto generates cab files with the same infected files in case anti-spyware gets it. The software adds about 40 registry entries, and once fully running steals control of your clipboard. This in my opinion is the dangerous part.  See also: Link   Clock. Was persistant, had to run Ad-Aware a few times and reboot to remove it. Spyware shows up as "VX2". This file was found in c:\winnt   DM Difficult to get rid of AdWare - Honest software Manufacturers dont make their software difficult to remove   Charlie screws up cut and paste operations. If I find the guy that wrote it, I will kill him.   It sends lots of URLs to the clipboard without the user's knowledge or consent  See also: Link   Chris Thornton / www.clipmate.com It's horrible. Pop-ups each time you browse; where did it come from?   Renae The pop-ups interrupt other active processes when activating   Michael could not delete, but renamed it...killed twain-tech off   cdb Annoying & you cant get rid of it. Should be illegal   dianne Keeps duplicating, It's a DLL, cannot delete it.   Nick A Please BOYCOTT all mxTarget announcers.   Tom once i disabled it, pop-up ads stopped.   John Lalande delete it and the darn thing comes back   Hayley Jones slows pc down, annoying as hell   Affects the Copy & Paste   Genki Dave bad browser hijack   Bernhard Norton wont remove! I found a way   John Gadd Very annoying pest program, thanks Clock for the removal program   Grant Cheng would like to sue the company!   mokong Affects the Copy & Paste - search your reg & delete any entry. Dll sits in c:\windows   Vishal B It may be intended as adware, but it caused problems with IE, printing, and digital photos. Tried LOTS of things (incl XP repair). But the only thing that worked was running Spybot in 'immunize' mode took care of it. Please donate, I did.   Adam This was the most annoying file that made it to my system..thanks everyone for the support in getting rid of this terror file!!   jon...coroner i used ad aware and this file was gone, but it just keeps returning!   It will kill your computer making pop ups coming all the time. Kill this dll.   Vineet Dewan Alters google searches and downloads other spyware   Jonas Steger Very difficult to remove. Repeatedly reinstalls itself.   Navillusb People must shearch too for mpkunke.exe processes. This install the mxtarget.dll in every initialization.   Igor I agree. BOYCOTT nowww!! Replicate as a virus inside your computer.   Igor Webroot Spyware Sweeper removes it, but it doesn't stop it coming back :o(   Ann Pain in the Ass but solution is to delete all entries of MXTARGET and delete MXTARGET.DLL from whereever for me it was in WINNT folder.   AJ allows CWS .Hijack ABOUT:BLANK , allows viruses to enter..ie "W32.AGOBOT.RL"   napalm300 If you know more about mxtarget.dll, share your knowledge and help other users.
