Overview of Ybrowser.exe What Is Ybrowser.exe? Ybrowser.exe is a type of EXE file associated with Avant Browser developed by Avant Force for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Ybrowser.exe is 11.8.0.109, which was produced for Windows. This EXE file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'. What Are EXE Files? EXE ('executable') files, such as ybrowser.exe, are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function. When you 'double-click' an EXE file, your computer automatically executes these instructions designed by a software developer (eg.
Avant Force) to run a program (eg. Avant Browser) on your PC.
Every software application on your PC uses an executable file - your web browser, word processor, spreadsheet program, etc. - making it one of the most useful kinds of files in the Windows operating system. Without executable files like ybrowser.exe, you wouldn't be able to use any programs on your PC.
Why Do I Have EXE Errors? Because of their usefulness and ubiquity, EXE files are commonly used as a method of delivery for virus / malware infection. Often, viruses will be disguised as a benign EXE file (such as ybrowser.exe) and distributed through SPAM email or malicious websites, which can then infect your computer when executed (eg. When you double-click the EXE file).
In addition, viruses can infect, replace, or corrupt existing EXE files, which can then lead to error messages when Avant Browser or related programs are executed. Thus, any executable files that you download to your PC should be scanned for viruses before opening - even if you think it is from a reputable source. When Do EXE Errors Occur? EXE errors, such as those associated with ybrowser.exe, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. Common Ybrowser.exe Error Messages The most common ybrowser.exe errors that can appear on a Windows-based computer are: • 'Ybrowser.exe Application Error.'
• 'Ybrowser.exe is not a valid Win32 application.' • 'Ybrowser.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.' • 'Cannot find ybrowser.exe.' • 'Ybrowser.exe not found.' • 'Error starting program: ybrowser.exe.'
• 'Ybrowser.exe is not running.' • 'Ybrowser.exe failed.' • 'Faulting Application Path: ybrowser.exe.' These EXE error messages can appear during program installation, while a ybrowser.exe-related software program (eg. Avant Browser) is running, during Windows startup or shutdown, or even during the installation of the Windows operating system. Keeping track of when and where your ybrowser.exe error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem.
Recommendation: Causes of Ybrowser.exe Errors Ybrowser.exe problems can be attributed to corrupt or missing files, invalid registry entries associated with Ybrowser.exe, or a virus / malware infection. More specifically, these ybrowser.exe errors can be caused by: • Corrupt Windows registry keys associated with ybrowser.exe / Avant Browser.
• Virus or malware infection that has corrupted the ybrowser.exe file or related Avant Browser program files. • Another program maliciously or mistakenly deleted ybrowser.exe-related files. • Another program is in conflict with Avant Browser and its shared referenced files. • Corrupt download or incomplete installation of Avant Browser software. Caution: We do not recommend downloading ybrowser.exe from 'EXE download' sites. These sites distribute EXE files that are unapproved by the official ybrowser.exe file developer, and can often be bundled with virus-infected or other malicious files. If you require a copy of ybrowser.exe, it is recommended that you obtain it directly from Avant Force.

Below is a list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your ybrowser.exe problems. These troubleshooting steps get progressively more difficult and time consuming, so we strongly recommend attempting them in ascending order to avoid unnecessary time and effort. Please Note: Click the [ ] image to expand the troubleshooting instructions for each step below. You can also click the [ ] image to hide the instructions as you proceed through each step. Sometimes ybrowser.exe and other EXE system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry.
Several programs can share the same ybrowser.exe file, but when these programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes 'orphaned' (invalid) EXE registry entries are left behind. Basically, what this means is that while the actual file path may have changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows registry. When Windows tries looking up these incorrect file references (file locations on your PC), ybrowser.exe errors can occur. In addition, malware infection may have corrupted the registry entries associated with Avant Browser.
Thus, these invalid EXE registry entries need to be repaired to fix the root of the problem. Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid ybrowser.exe keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional. Incorrectly editing your registry can stop your PC from functioning and create irreversible damage to your operating system. In fact, one misplaced comma can prevent your PC from booting entirely!
Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner) to scan and repair any ybrowser.exe-related registry problems. Using a automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your ybrowser.exe error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage. The best part is that can also dramatically improve system speed and performance. Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, we DO NOT recommend editing the Windows registry manually.
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. To manually repair your Windows registry, first you need to create a backup by exporting a portion of the registry related to ybrowser.exe (eg. Avant Browser): • Click the Start button.
• Type ' command' in the search box. DO NOT hit ENTER yet! • While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER. • You will be prompted with a permission dialog box. • A black box will open with a blinking cursor. • Type ' regedit' and hit ENTER. • In the Registry Editor, select the ybrowser.exe-related key (eg.
Avant Browser) you want to back up. • From the File menu, choose Export. • In the Save In list, select the folder where you want to save the Avant Browser backup key. • In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as 'Avant Browser Backup'. • In the Export Range box, be sure that ' Selected branch' is selected.
• Click Save. • The file is then saved with a.reg file extension. • You now have a backup of your ybrowser.exe-related registry entry. The next steps in manually editing your registry will not be discussed in this article due to the high risk of damaging your system.

If this junk isn't occasionally cleaned out, it can cause Avant Browser to respond slowly or provides an ybrowser.exe error, possibly due to file conflicts or an overloaded hard drive. Cleaning up these temporary files with Disk Cleanup might not only solve your ybrowser.exe error, but can also dramatically speed up the performance of your PC. Tip: Although Disk Cleanup is a wonderful built-in tool, it will not completely clean up all of the temporary files on your computer.
Other programs that you frequently use such Microsoft Office, Firefox, Chrome, Live Messenger, and hundreds of other programs are not cleaned up with Disk Cleanup (including some Avant Force programs). Because of the shortcomings of the Windows Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr) tool, we highly recommend using a specialized hard drive cleanup / privacy protection software such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Partner) to clean up your entire computer. Running once per day (using automatic scanning) will ensure that your computer is always clean, running fast, and free of ybrowser.exe errors related to temporary files.
How to run Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr) (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10): • Click the Start button. • Type ' command' in the search box. DO NOT hit ENTER yet! • While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER. • You will be prompted with a permission dialog box. • A black box will open with a blinking cursor. • Type ' cleanmgr' and hit ENTER.
• Disk Cleanup will begin calculating how much occupied disk space you can reclaim. • The Disk Cleanup dialog box will appear with series of checkboxes you can select. In most cases, the 'Temporary Files' category will occupy the most disk space. • Check the boxes of the categories you want to clean and click OK. Ybrowser.exe errors can be related to corrupt or outdated device drivers.
Drivers can work one day, and suddenly stop working the next day, for a variety of reasons. The good news is that you can often update the device driver to fix the EXE problem.
Finding the exact driver for your ybrowser.exe-related hardware device can be extremely difficult, even directly on the Avant Force or related manufacturer's website. Even if you are experienced at finding, downloading, and manually updating drivers, the process can still be very time consuming and extremely irritating. Installing the wrong driver, or simply an incompatible version of the right driver, can make your problems even worse.
Because of the time and complexity involved in updating drivers, we highly recommend using a such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Partner) to automate the process. Updates all of your PC device drivers, not just those associated with your EXE error. Proprietary One-Click Update™ technology not only ensures that you have correct driver versions for your hardware, but it also creates a backup of your current drivers before making any changes.
Maintaining a driver backup provides you with the security of knowing that you can rollback any driver to a previous version if necessary. With updated device drivers, you can finally unlock new hardware features and improve the speed and performance of your PC.
