Bitdefender 2011 detect PNotesPortable 6.5 to be a virus : Worm.Generic.276491

Submitted by Avatar2 on October 6, 2010 - 9:04am

Hi, I try to download last version of PNotes Portable and have the surprise for the firs time on portableapps.com to see that my antivirus software (Bitdefender Total Security 2011) detect a virus. So I'm not sure that is the case or is a fals positive. Anyoane have problems with this version 6.5 ? I will contact also the support team for Bitdefender to find out what their opinion is. Thanks.

P.S. I try again on 2 diferent computers with Bitdefender Total Security 2010 and the results are identical. Same virus detection.

Chrome Portable Updating

Submitted by pwright2 on October 5, 2010 - 12:51pm

So I've read the thread on why ChromePortable cannot update itself and understand that. In the thread, which was from back in April, there was mention of waiting for Portable Apps Updater, which is part of the menu now. But I've run the Updater and it finds nothing to update on Chrome6, which probably means that it only checks for updates of PA.c releases. That makes sense also. And we really can't expect the developer to keep up with Googles random and frequent updates.

Apps for Java Portable Launcher

Submitted by Emka on October 4, 2010 - 1:31pm

Hi!
I'm wondering about the information on the Java Portable Launcher. It reads:

Java Portable Launcher does not portablize the settings of all your Java programs within JAR files. Some JAR apps will either store their settings alongside the JAR or provide an option to store the settings portably. Other JAR apps will look to the user.home setting and store data there. The launcher configures these to use your portable device for settings storage.

Chromium Portable cannot work with Google Pinyin 2(A chinese input method)

Submitted by mchotdog on October 2, 2010 - 6:45am

Many chinese users are annoying at this problem.
When I use Chromium Portable,I found Google Pinyin 2(A chinese input method) cannot launch at all,but when I close Chromium Portable,the input method is OK then.
When I use Chromium,no problem at all.
So I think maybe there's something wrong with ChromiumPortable.exe

Chrome extensions are not syncing

Submitted by LanceHaverkamp on October 1, 2010 - 10:49pm

Chrome is supposed to sync all kinds of things, including extensions. This is working perfectly on hard drive installed systems--even between different operating systems. But extensions are not syncing on portable. Bookmarks are, but not extensions. I have completely uninstalled & reinstalled, but with no success.

Any suggestions?

Winwget proxy support

Submitted by NickHill on September 30, 2010 - 10:44am

I'm pulling out my hair here....

With no proxy defined, my winwget (latest build) gives me a nice error msg - host not resolved.

when I enter the proxy it still goes to error status but adds a blank line to the log file. I can type whatever I like into the proxy setting, but I still just get error and a blank line in the log.

given that I know how to type in the proxy address properly, how am I supposed to fix it when the error log gives me no clue....
