Slotchbar or Twain Tech Adware

[maggy]

Every time I boot up my machine MS antispyware reports
that either Slotchbar or Twain Tech Adware is trying to
install itself, I click remove, do a full scan, it finds
the other one, remove, reboot, same problem. In safe mode
it finds nothing. Spybot S&D finds nothing, AntiVir finds
nothing, AdAware finds nothing. Is this a false positive
or is there a leak in my system and a removal failure of
MS antispyware?

Have you tried scanning with MWAS, using the Full system scan option
with all 3 boxes checked in normal Windows mode and then booting
directly to Safe Mode afterwards and then doing a Full system scan once
more ? If doing so still does not remove the malware advise you to post
the issue to a reputable antispyware forum. Please read the guidelines
of the forum that you choose prior to posting :
