First: In case this is the wrong forum please let me know and I'll try to ask somewhere else for advice :-) .
Now to my question: I installed an App / Program and I'm unable to uninstall it. It is a very annoying program which always asks me to update it but I don't use it and just want to get rid of it. When I go to the Control Panel it only offers me the option to change the program but not to uninstall it. When I click change it opens an installation Window which gives me the option to repair, modify or remove files from my PC but when I click any option it just tells me that there are no files on my PC.
Moreover, I've also tried to enter this line in Command prompt and it says that the program was uninstalled successfully but it still continues to be on my pc.
wmic:root\cli>product where name="Autochartist MetaTrader Expert Advisor" call uninstall
Please, can somebody tell me what to do in order to get rid of the program and everything related to it? Thank you! (The program is called Autochartist MetaTrader Expert Advisor)
Well, my best bet is that you install Microsoft Uninstalling (or something of the sort) here. You'll just have to grab the Autochartist MetaTrader Expert Advisor in the list it will give (if it is present. If it isn't, then it will not work) and it should uninstall.

I have been looking for several days to find a solution to the title's problem. I had a virtual machine that was working fine for more than 3 years however it "broke down" and I decided to create a new one with the latest version of lubuntu for guest (I tried other distributions too of course). I deleted and recreated the vms more than 15 times!!! and tried every solution I found on the world wide web like installing vmtools reinstalling vmware changing usb compatibility from version 3 to version 2 etc. But nothing worked. Every time all usb devices were disabled and I couldnt enable them with right click. This thing is infuriating. Please tell me there is a way to fix it, I really dont want to switch to virtualbox.
Molte grazie!
For some inexplicable reason, VMware Player, from a certain version onwards, creates virtual machines with all USB ports disabled, even if the user does not select such option in the gui configuration wizard.
The aforementioned option can be changed only by editing the <vm_name>.vmx file, located in the same path as the VM.
That being said, all you need to do is change the value of this line:
usb.restrictions.defaultAllow = "FALSE"
from FALSE to TRUE.

The .exe I'm building is currently recognized by Avast as "File might be dangerous". It is not a false positive because the antivirus software finally doesn't find any virus in it, but just an alarm saying that this file has been "rarely downloaded".
I've contacted Avast but they don't seem to offer a solution except sending them the .exe for whitelisting.
Things I have tried, but that didn't solve the problem:
Have proper resource.rc file in Visual C++, with details about the .exe: BLOCK "StringFileInfo", VALUE "CompanyName", "MyCompany\0", etc.
Use makecert, certutil, signtool as detailed in this answer: How do I create a self-signed certificate for code signing on Windows?
Things that won't work:
Add to local avast exclusion (I can't ask every customer to do this!)
Redo a "Submit file to Avast Lab for scan" for each new build of the .exe. It's not scalable to have to re-submit the .exe to Avast (and all other 50+ antivirus software!) for each new build.
Paying $200 per year for code-signing (it might work, but I don't find it fair to have to give a $xxx ransom per year just for being whitelisted)
Are there common solutions that can help to avoid "Rarely downloaded file / File might be suspicious" antivirus alarms?
Note: I've read How to prevent my .exe to be recognized as malware?, how can I make my software not to be discovered by antivirus?, but it did not really cover the topic here.
Note2: I've read these guidelines, etc. but it did not currently help.
It depends of what this exe going to do. I've seen these av balloons two times.
First when I've add some compiled assembler code into (signed?) exe file and another one happens when I'd deploy system wide hook to catch all keystrokes in the system while app is inactive (exe were not enough for it and there were own dll).

Is there a way to record all the sound that is played on a Linux Machine using PulseAudio? E.g. like Stereomix in Windows.
I dont want a complete Program, I just need some entry point to start my researches. Somehow I do not find very much regarding this topic.
So if anyone has informations on this topic (of course this can be tips, hints or maybe open source programs that do this), please let me know!
I researched this exact problem yesterday, so I have some steps you can try. I was using Ubuntu 15.04.
Install pavucontrol, and run it.
Go to the "Recording" tab.
Run a command like this in a shell, arecord -f cd | hexdump -Cv | grep '0000 ', and you should see a new entry appear in the pavucontrol recording tab. You might see non-zero data if your microphone is enabled.
Run YouTube or something in the background to generate sound.
Click the drop-down item next to "ALSA Capture from" and switch 'Built-in Audio Analog Stereo' to 'Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo'. You should see non-zero data in the arecord session.
From there, its a matter of writing code to record audio using the ALSA api. You can use arecord as a reference.
The system (mine anyway) somehow remembers the "from" setting between invocations of arecord, even though the item in the Recording tab comes and goes.

I'm looking to start developing a browser (operating system isn't an issue, but preferring Linux or Windows). I'm just trying to figure out where to start. I know Visual Studio lets you drop a lightweight IE component into it, but I don't want IE's issues. I was hoping to start with a very basic mozilla build, but I cant seem to find one anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can find a good open source starting point OR how to start this on my own?
If you're not opposed to using Qt, then Qt's Webkit implementation could be a fairly clean start for cross-platform work:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/examples-webkit.html
Note in particular the "Fancy Browser" sample:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/webkit-fancybrowser.html
There are many customizations possible and ways of hooking the engine. There's also support for Flash, though I've not tried that:
http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/31547-Flash-support-for-QT-Webkit-4-6
Although you can use Qt with other compilers/IDEs, the quickest way to get started is with Qt Creator. After installing it there should only be a few clicks needed to get the QtWebkit examples building, on either Windows or Linux:

Recently, I've been thinking about how there are multiple versions of linux and how they are all built on a similar kernel. And I was wondering if it was possible with Windows. In this case I am thinking of having the first program loaded after the kernel has booted up and started all the devices, would be the what pops up instead of the windows login screen.
The reason for this is because I was wondering if it was possible to have the system render all the objects on the screen in a distint styling, but still process it as if it were running on a normal windows machine.
Any Thoughts?
Initially I thought this was a naive question, but Mooing Duck's link in the comments proved insightful. There are projects that do just this: EmergeDesktop, SharpE, even the KDE.
They're open and on sourceforge, go get them and dink around to your hearts content.
I'm not sure that the login screen is part of the shell however. So your alternate shell would only show up after you log in.
However, in the long run, alternate shells have no hope of competition. Microsoft controls the environment and they don't play too nice with competition.
