My Take on Ceedo and StickyDrive

Submitted by dford3772 on June 25, 2006 - 5:31pm

I have four flash drives from 512 to 1GB; guess I am becoming an addict. I knew that today when I realized
that with what I want to do 1GB is not enough LOL.

Ceedo is pretty neat as long as you are content to have only it on your drive. When I put other apps I
quickly saw there would be glitches. IE on it is the only version I've heard of that is available but it is
not Java enabled so there are problems with some sites. I'm wondering what will happen when IE upgrades
to new version. Does the customer have to stay satisfied with the old? They do have an update program once you have paid $40 but I wonder...The carrot and the stick for me (no pun intended) was the upcoming promise of Picasa but again I wonder.

Upgrade StickyDrive OpenOffice

Submitted by dford3772 on June 24, 2006 - 5:48pm

StickyDrive is a Windows environment which is free and quite fun to use. It has
a number of Haller's apps but I was appalled to see that the OpenOffice app is old
at 1.1

Am wondering if anyone has upgraded if using StickyDrive. The Haller Firefox was
no problem at all. The VLC player is great too. How to upgrade inside the environment of the program iw where I'm lost.
Thanks,
Donna

logging in Putty (on a portable)

Submitted by carmi on June 17, 2006 - 4:04am

Hi,

I am using Putty on my USB Flash Device but I cannot find a way to save the logs to a directory stored on the flash drive. I have heard that Putty doesn't need to be changed to work as a Portable App but are they wrong and some settings aren't saved? Or do I need to just figure out the name changing for the flash drive.

Thanks, Evan

yadabyte disk problems

Submitted by azjerry on June 9, 2006 - 12:04pm

Downloaded the latest version and put it in a temp folder on my hard disk along with a copy of what's on my USB as I wanted to time different encryption options, both on the hard disk to get a feel for relative speed as well as on the USB itself.

Problem: The first time I ran YD it crashed immediately, something about asking Windows for abnormal termination or some such. Second time started OK.

Minor annoyance: put password in first field and hit Tab. Instead of going to the next password field, focus went to the Cancel button.

Problem: YD proceeded to encrypt things. Took about 4 minutes. When done it stated that had done 8992 files in "33 seconds", not the multiple minutes it actually took. Same sort of error happened on the decryption.

Help - Torpark "Trojan" = False Positive?

Submitted by Graeme on June 5, 2006 - 11:44pm

Hi,

I guess AVG (Free Edition) did it's update thing overnight, and today when I plugged in my flash drive up popped a warning saying "Virus Detected! While opening the file: J:\Apps\Topark\Torpark.exe - Trojan horse Downloader.Zlob.ANW" ...

Has anyone else received this, and can people please confirm that there is no spyware/trojan embedded in this app?

I had noticed that on running Torpark that from time to time AVG was scanning outbound mail(!!) so figured that Torpark was using POP3 port to contact somewhere on the sly...

Anyway, help and suggestions would be appreciated, and if this is just a "false positive" perhaps the developers of Torpark could contact Grisoft (the makers of AVG).
