Download and install: . Now Run it and post a copy of the Log File here.
(Create a Folder for HiJackThis anywhere but your Temp/Temporary Internet Folders.)

First, turn off System Restore.
Then you need to remove "Twain-Tec" in Add/Remove Programs. Twiantec.dll is a transponder. HijackThis will detect it as a BHO but it must not be removed using HijackThis. This is because of the remaining registry entries and files which can be dangerous. Instead the following method of removal is preferable and complete:
Reboot the computer to Safe Mode and delete twaintech.dll and twaintec.ini If twaintech.dll is in use, then you would need to rename it, reboot the computer, and then delete it.

Now:

Press Ctrl/Alt/Del and "End Task" or "End Process" on each of the following: (They may or may not be there)

Tvm.exe

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.) Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {707E6F76-9FFB-4920-A976-EA101271BC25} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5886A6DC-AAF4-45E9-979A-8E5E6DEE30E7} - C:\Program Files\zSearch\zSearch.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [TV Media] C:\Program Files\TV Media\Tvm.exe
O16 - DPF: {12398DD6-40AA-4C40-A4EC-A42CFC0DE797} (Installer Class) - http://www.xxxtoolbar.com/ist/softwares ... cracks.cab

Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the following if they are there:

zSearch
TV Media


Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\Program Files\TV Media
C:\Program Files\zSearch

Now, empty your TEMP Folder / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.
