Plz
I have been trying to access my USB and this pop-up message wouldn't let me get into my USB;

"There was a problem starting _WEAYE.com
The specified module could not be found"

can anyone help me to regain my USB data or how can I fix this?
 
Solution
What else does a right click show - a Properties option? If it does and it if it then leads to Volume then Populate>Properties, you might be able to assign a drive letter.
Then, at a Command Prompt type
attrib x:\*.* -h
where X is the drive letter, and hit Enter. That should unhide all the files then run the DIR command to see the contents. You could then create a folder in My Documents and copy all the files you want into that.

Personally, once I could see the name if that hidden .inf file, I would delete it.

Hello,
I have tried all the USB ports I have on my Laptop and it's showing the same
"RunDLL Pop-Up" dialogue box.
"There was a problem starting _WEAYE.com
The specified module could not be found"
Yes, it shows _WEAYE.com
My USB Stick is: ADATA C008/4GB

No. I don't have a website hosted by weaya.com and this is the first time am even hearing of weaya.com and am pretty sure I do not have any data from this weaya.com
I could format the USB stick but am afraid of loosing all my import data in the USB stick.
 
I'll stop short of actively recommending this course of action but whenever I get data loss instances of this kind coming in to my business, I format (Quick) and use Recuva to bring back whatever there is. I did one yesterday on a 4Gb micro SD from a Samsung mobile and retrieved 1241 photographs. Now my customer is moaning because she can't sort out which ones she'd deleted and which she wants to keep - and they're all dated 09/06/2013!

It's worth a try but at your own risk, of course. There is a free download of Recuva from the developers - the CCleaner people - http://www.piriform.com.

What is on the usb stick? It could be that there is an autoexec.bat on the root of the usb drive which is caling for the _weaye.com which might be something of your own making.

A usb stick is much the same sort of thing as any accessible memory device even like a CD or dvd disk whereby a setup.exe or Start.htm is called when you insert the item. To get rid of the weaye.com, al you need to do is delete the calling executable or inf file on the usb drive.

Can you actually access the usb drive? If not you could possible copy the data from that dirve using a RUN command assuming that the usb stick does actually show a drive letter.

Inside the USB stick, I have some songs, ms office documents and a few picture, the USB is on auto play, when I open My computer, I see the Icon representing my USB but if I double click on it or try to open it, I get the massage I posted above. If I right click and "Open file location" it takes me "rundll32.exe"
