There are small dabs of semi gloss latex paint, near the baseboards, on the
hardwood floors.

I think it was from the last time someone painted it 3 years ago who wasn't
very careful, so the paint is set.

What is the best way to remove it? Get a razor blade and scrape as much of
it up? And then what? Some type of solvent?

Some latex paints are made with ammonia-based dispersants (or
whatever) so it may be worthwhile to see if treating some of the spots
with household ammonia could soften them enough to make removal easy.
Ammoia is not very likely to attack a typical floor finish of varnish
or polyurethane. Good luck.

Be carefull with ammonia, it will darken oak, ever heard of Stickley ?
