path too long


Path too long: Usually windows is unable to perform operations on file names that are very long. Due to this incapability of windows, the user is stuck with a lot unwanted files. Antivirus programs will skip these file when scanning for viruses.To overcome this nuisance OSM studios have developed a java application and can be downloaded at:

Malwarebytes:  It is a very useful malicious software cleaning utility. If you have a corrupt file system, just this utility from :

  2. UPDATE IT
  3. RUN A FULL SCAN
  4. AFTER THE SCAN IT WILL SHOW A LIST OF MALICIOUS PROGRAMS IN THE SYSTEM

Microworld Virus Cleaning Utility: A very strong antivirus cleaning utility and one of my favourites.

  1. DOWNLOAD IT
  2. DOUBLE CLICK THE ICON
  3. UPDATE THE SOFTWARE

  7. CLICK SCAN AND CLEAN

This utility scans and cleans all infections in a system and gives you a full report.

Please take notice that the above mentioned utilities may delete a data file or an application/file that may be important for the system to function. Mostly it would happen when a malicious software infects such a file. Truth Chariot advises utmost caution and professional help when required.

Lost Indian Culture - II

I did break some serious beliefs in my first post and this one will drill deeper and clean a few more. The concept here relates to culture and religion. Basically, there are eight religions in the world - four originated in the Gulf and the rest in India. Most religions present in the west originated in the gulf and are called western or Abrahamic religions.                                           The four religions originating in India are called Dharmic paths, as per Wikipedia .
