File purpose and description:
This is an ad related program. It may have arrived from installing free software like a toolbar. Often totally free programs come with ad related programs behind the scenes, as they need to make money somewhere. This program can be related to computer slowdowns or advertising displays on your pc. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
twaintec.dll
File type:
This is a DLL file, and it can be loaded or activated through your web browser, and can even come as a toolbar.
File or folder location:
Normally this will appear in your windows folder. Many computer system files are stored there, and many advertising programs also end up hidden there. This can also appear in your computers temp folder. You may want to download and run a program like Complete Cleanup, which will clear all your temp files and even the internal temp file folders and items. You can find this program easily on google.
General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes.
You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows
"task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active
on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they
get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files
on your computer, for example, twaintec.dll may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very
similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist
as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned.
You can always find the location of twaintec.dll on your computer by using your Windows search options, but
I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
