Solved: DaemonProcess.exe error due to missing QtCore4.dll at Windows start

Ok, actually I prefer to deal with Macintosh problems, because then I usually know what to do. However, I just had to use TeamViewer to heal a customer's PC, because since today she has had the problem that he always reports the error when Windows starts that "DaemonProcess.exe" cannot start because the file "QtCore4.dll" is missing. Please reinstall the program so that it is complete again.

Since I couldn't do anything with it at first, I asked Aunt-G and lo and behold - there are apparently many people who have the problem, not only on Windows 7 but also on Windows XP, Windows Vista and even Windows 8.

Adware Mobogenie solves the problem

Based on the recommendations, I ran a virus scanner, but it didn't reveal anything. I then read in a forum that you should look on the computer in "C:/Program (x86)" and "C:/Documents/User/" to see whether there is a folder called "Mobogenie". Indeed I found this folder in both file paths. I quickly moved them to the recycle bin, emptied the recycle bin and restarted the computer.

After the Windows restart, no more errors occurred. So the problem is gone, but I still didn't know what this "mobogenie" actually was. It's a program that's technically not a Virus is, but still intervenes deeply in the operating system. In itself, however, it is used to transfer data from the Android mobile phone to the computer or back. And it is apparently simply installed with the installation of a “BS Player”.

Remove Mobogenie Virus - How to Get Rid of the Crap!

As already mentioned, the program is not a real virus because it does not spread to other computers or infect files. Nevertheless, the term "Mobogenie Virus" is repeatedly found on the Internet, which is probably due to the fact that it is so difficult to get rid of this software.

With my customer it was quite easy at first, as I only had to delete the two folders. But if you notice that the problem occurs again and again, you may have a malicious one Browser-Extension in Chrome, Explorer or Firefox. You should also remove all of these, for example with the Avast Browser Cleanup is possible. There are also other programs to scan your computer for malware or Adware to scan. However, I would always advise providing the PC with good virus protection, because these Internet Security Bundles usually offer protection for browsers, e-mails and all the rest. Here, for example, the AVG Internet Security 2014 is recommended, which you can find here shop at Amazon can.

Book a PC service through Sir Apfelot? Is also possible!

If you have problems with such error messages or the like on your Windows PC, you are welcome to use my TeamViewer as a helping hand. I'm actually more of a Mac specialist, but so far I've been able to fix almost all PC problems.
