EvincePortable component libgs-8.dll contains TrojWare?

Submitted by Deele on November 3, 2011 - 7:37pm

My Comodo Antivirus just reported that EvincePortable component libgs-8.dll contains TrojWare.Win32.Koblu.A@100738920. More people has reported this file too. Could anyone confirm that it is true, an active Trojan?
If it is, that pice of software should be removed from portable apps listings or at least cleaned and users noticed.

PDFTK Builder Portable opens in wrong monitor

Submitted by dggoldst on November 2, 2011 - 9:18am

I moved PDFTK to my secondary monitor to do some work, and now every time it launches it opens in that second monitor (on the left edge).

For most apps, dragging the window back to the primary monitor and closing it solves the problem: the app will re-open in the place it was last closed.

However, this trick does not seem to work for PDFTK Builder Portable. No matter where I move the window, it reopens in the exact same spot on the wrong monitor. (Since this monitor is usually displaying another computer, this is a problem).

Google Chrome is not installing/updating

Submitted by ForsakenRainman on October 24, 2011 - 9:23am

I got a problem installing/updating Chrome (all Channels) at my work location.
The PAF-File downloads successfully, but the updater returns a sendRequest-Error on loading the chrome binaries in the second step.

I tried the Skype-Portable installation, too, because it is also downloading additional binaries while installing. And there were no errors. The proxy i am using shouldn't be the problem.

I can exclude site restrictions because i have access to all other google sites.

Is it possible that the binaries-path has changed recently?

Database Browser 4.0.0.0 Doesn't Run - Sorted!!!

Submitted by daven2411 on October 24, 2011 - 5:06am

I have just updated to the latest version of Database Browser and it doesn't work. It comes up with an error message ( twice ) saying "Could not find file F:\PortableApps\DatabaseBrowserPortable\App\DatabaseBrowser\db.mdb". It then goes into Database Browser with 1 tab titled "SQL Editor" and all my previous connections have disappeared. If you require further details don't hesittate to ask.

SkypePortable - how to open existing public chat room?

Submitted by skroslak on October 23, 2011 - 5:25pm

example:
go to https://vaadin.com/chat, there is a standard "join chat" skype link, which is supposed to be handled by Skype. When SkypePortable is not started, and I click the link, SkypePortable starts, but no chatroom is opened. When it's already started and I click the link, it gives me a warning: "Another instance is running...".

I didn't find any function in Skype itself, which would allow me to open chatroom.
