This has a built in uninstaller:

start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Add/remove --> twain-tech

If that is either not present or not good enough for you I guess we can show you the HARD way to do it. I personally try to take the easy way out if there's an acceptable road to take.

Destroy Autorun:
Delete the following keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run\xgn

Reboot your system then:

Make sure you click start --> Run and type in msconfig. Then select the startup tab. Any references to the processes below.

End Processes (may or may not exist):
preinsmt.exe
preinstt.exe
wsebate1.exe
biprep.exe
wast2.exe
xgn.exe

Unregister DLLs:
Each file is in several locations so you'll need to search for them and unregister + delete them in every location you find. These are found in quite a few locations so you'll have to search for them, unregister them and then delete them everywhere you find it running.

mxtarget.dll
twaintec.dll
wsem218.dll

Remove Directories:
They don't actually create their own directory. The run in oddball temp directories and the windows directory. This makes it harder.

Clean your Registry:

You should be back to normal IF this was your only problem. I suggest you post in our HJT forum since its not likely that this is your only bug. Read this first.
