"Application not found" Error Message in Vista/XP - 2

Go Back to Page 1 <<

Verifying the File in Simple Way (you can use other method):

I verified the file using AVAST Anti-Virus. How? Just Right-Click the file > Properties and it will give an alarm. You can use other Anti-virus like AVG, Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton, NOD32 and others...

Virus Found! My Hypothesis is Correct.

Malware name: Win32: Trojan-gen {Other} Malware type: Virus/Worm

Now, Let's Go Back to the Problem and the Solution about the Message

To Remove the Message, just delete the AutoRun.inf. For more details, Open AutoRun.inf and analyze the settings:

From my situation (Please see at the picture above), it appears that the problem is caused by a setting in autorun.inf to launch a program that appears to be a virus called dllcache32.exe when the usb is inserted. Since, it cannot locate the program in the recycled folder, It will give the message "Application not found".

NIFTY SOLUTION: Therefore, just delete the autorun.inf. That's it!

Finally, Safely Remove the USB Device and insert it again.

In CD/DVD: Just open AutoRun.Inf and checked if the file that is set to open is damaged or corrupted.

Looks like hackers and virus writers are exploiting the autorun.inf to spread the virus.

Scary Things: On some computers, the autoplay is set to run or explore the external storage devices when it is inserted. It can be use to create and launch a Key logger program/virus. When you insert the USB Disk it will automatically run and start logging/getting information (passwords, usernames, account numbers, credit card information ANYTHING!).

Windows Vista Prevention Tips:

1. READ MESSAGES and Always Turn-ON UAC, It will be detected and ask you if you like to launch the program.

2. Remove Autoplay using WinBubble: Disable Auto Play in All types of Media

Now, Your a beginner in detecting worms... Cool Right?

Google (organic) Hits Restored

Now, my Google Search Hits was restored. In the past few days, there are times that I almost give-up and started thinking about selling my blogsite. Although I did not suffer or experienced a large impact because large part of the hits (50-70%) I received, came from the users and website administrators all over the world. In the long term, you will not grow without Google's Help. Again Thank you so much guys... I will not forget your help, for your emails and suggestions...

How and What Did I Learned?

During the Days when you were down, you've started thinking on how to solved the problem.

1. Think Deep, Don't just do anything without thinking for several times.

2. Have some rest, Due to the two consecutive programs I released. I suffer extreme stressed for the first few days of the month. I learned how to control my emotions and give time for my mind to rest.

3. Be truthful, In my experiences with Google Adsense, They have the Best Customer Service I ever encounter. So, They will give time to check your website if it's clean.

4. Start Cleaning your website links...and follow this guide: Webmater Guidelines 

5. Be Truthful, they can check. Post and Ask Help at Google Webmaster Help Section

"I do not accept any payments or pay for the help given by several
communities around the world in sharing my software. If I see that
they wholeheartedly supported and share my software to others... I gave a link. Is that illegal? I'm very sorry, this is my first time."

6.  Login to your Google Webmaster Tools and Submit your website for reconsideration.

7. Wait and Pray...

 

 

 

If your lucky and Google approved your website for reconsideration:

Do not be careless again and always think before adding any links to your post/website.

Thank you Google! I have learned my lesson.

I would like to thank Calvin of NotebookReview.com for giving me a great advice.

Thanks Guys!!!

Number One Gets the Best and Number Two takes what's Left

Is this true and does it really matters? Most of the times this is true especially in big companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple. The ecology of Internet is changing day by day. People are getting smarter, shifting from television to Youtube, PC to cell phones and most of the times they don't care if what they are using the Best product, as long as they are enjoying the system and it provides a solution for their needs.

Most of the companies want's to be the Best. But is it really important? If you'll create thousands of Useful tools that is not the best but provide a solution for everyone's need. That will be great!

That is what I noticed. The measurement of Being the Best is based on the quantity of usefulness and the number of relevant solutions that they've solved.

Google provides a solution in search that do not based on the correct answer or original answer but based on the popularity of the answer. Most of the times, this is being manipulated and exploited not only by the hackers but the famous companies itself.

THE RESULTS

Due to it's nature, It will benefit All. Companies are happy with the system because they have the power to win the popularity contest (To be the Best) but in the end... The Original Answer or the Creator himself  ALSO WINS...

Negative Effect: Some companies may use the system to manipulate the answers.

Microsoft, No Doubt Windows is still the best OS from children to adult. If Linux and Apple can provide a solution for millions of people like Bill Gates did. That would be great!

Negative Effect: Microsoft controls all of them. The technology is being based on a single company only. This is good if they will work hard every single day.

Firefox became popular because it solved most of the problems in Internet surfing. IE7 Protected Mode is the response.

Who won? The PEOPLE ITSELF.

Now, Do you want to be the Best?
