The release notes say something about "an updated LAME encoder". Do you plan an update for this one too?

EDIT: Oh and the Icon on the front page is wrong...

but why has BonkEnc Portable a separate LAME-MP3 plugin and Infrarecorder Portable has LAME included? Pardon

You're replying to a 2010 post, i.e. before the name change. If you check our app directory, you'll see we are aware of that.

Previously known as kAlug.

Thanks for updating the portable release! Incredibly fast! Smile

Avira has incorrectly spotted a FalsePositive of a Trojan.

Please read the Antivirus * False Positive section of https://portableapps.com/support and follow the instructions there to submit the files to one of the online check sites for confirmation of this.

This happens periodically, due to the fact that we compress all our apps to save space on flash drives, and many AV vendors handle compressed code poorly, tending to assume that someone must be hiding something.

PortableApps.com has never provided an upload with any virus, trojan, or other malware.

As far as portableapps is not supposed to share virus, spyware, and other unfunky things, how this site can make a release available without checking the package integrity?

As long as portableapps.com suite will not include by default a secure tool protecting the whole portable media host and all the apps in it, I guess it will be the first service to provide here... If not, developping all these apps, even the greatest one would be useless very soon...

I really hope the qualified people feeling concerned around here will quickly took this task as a priority.

It's another false positive. AntiVir has them rather frequently with UPX compressed apps. Generally AntiVir, a-squared and Ikarus seem to have the false positives at the same time. It's being reported to all of them today and they should all fix their issues within a couple days. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do on our end when they mess up their virus definitions. But we stay on top of it and report their issues to them as they arise.

You'll note that none of the major antivirus vendors have this issue (Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky, etc):

UPDATE: This has been fixed in AntiVir as of 1pm EDT on July 5.
