General Discussion

1) To run the apps does my usb stick have to be in all the time for the program to work?

2) Can it overheat aka the usb flash drive?

Okay I have an important question and such.

I have a 8GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro and it already comes with U3 Program.

So is it possible for me to REMOVE it and add PORTABLE APPS?

Also how would I remove it??

and second question

if i only download

"Platform Only"

on the download pages can I INSTALL programs later??

Here's the situation:

I have the following drives:
c: local disk
d: dvd/cd+-rw
e: 4gb flash drive
f: USB external hdd
g: private network share
i: 2GB SD card

So the question is, how do I find out which is quickest for running my PortableApps on without having to actually test them all on each.

What I am looking for is some kind of speed test that will work regardless of where the drive is located.

Can anyone recommend a way to test the read/write speed of these various drives from windows?

Thanks.

I am sure you will all want to join me in saying Happy Birthday John T Haller.

All of us here on the site are over-awed by what you have achieved on the site and with what is coming in the future.

Have a great day John and here is to the next year of PortableApps.com!

ok so i know its been asked before
1. can we use the portable apps logo on a cd of the portable apps suite
2. can we redistribute the portable apps on a cd for profit (me thinks not but asking any way)
3. is there a list of people already doing this?

I have been searching, and I see a lot of fake sites and stuff. But could some one verify me if there is or is not a portable version of Avira or avg? Or anything better then clamwin?

Thanks!

just a suggestion could u make a "full" suite including all software that is "released" rather than the core light and normal add another one called full?

also a wiki for support may be a good thing to look at...... stops people asking silly questions .... (yeah right)

ok i know he grammar is shot but u get the idea.

As topic, can anyone tell me if portable apps here can be run in Win PE?

I have installed it but it is still that red color.

Hey everyone,

As many of you may have seen when you recently updated your virus scanner, many PortableApps.com launchers are being incorrectly identified as having the Trojan.Win32.Pakes.lth trojan. This is known as a "false positive", meaning that the launcher has been falsely identified as a virus. This is currently being identified in all virus scanners which use the Kaspersky definition. If there are others, please leave a comment.
