General Discussion

Helo! When open FireFox from PortableApps my antivirus (mks 2005) showing window: file: C:\ (... )\Seba\USTAWI~1\Temp\nsq148.tmp\System.dll is virus - Trojan.Downloader.Agent.bcw. Why? Others app too.

What happened to the two links under "Forum" - "active discussions" and "my discussions" (or so)?

I really need these to stay uptodate in this forum ... browsing through the different forums is NOT an option, specially not with my lame analog connection.

Pls put them back - or an alternative like "view posts since your last visit" like it is in many other boards.

Cheers

Stealthsurfer.biz appears to be reselling Firefox and Thunderbird Portable (along with some other security software). I'm assuming when you buy their flash drive they give you more than just the installer, which would make this illegal.

Hi,

i want to use an autorun.inf file on my usb to go to a specific folder on doubleclick on the drive

i got this:

shell=pam
shell\pam\command=folder/StartPortableApps
shell\pam=Start PortableApps


but now it starts the program StartPortableApps.exe

i just want to go to /folder/ do the files in the root are not shown

how to do this??

ive only been using portable aps for about a month and think there fantastic, i was intrigued by the requests for a portable linux distro, i recently found a website

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

that has a few linux distros on it that all work from a usb stick.
take a look if your interested.

ps. i did look for a topic like this one but couldn't find one so my appologies if its been on before

I'm not an expert on open source licenses, however it seems that it is possible under the GPL and MPL to distribute software commercially. There are lots of online stores selling various linux distros.

Is it possible to sell a usb drive with the portableapps suite pre-installed on it.

If so is any body doing this ?

I am in high school and I have to do a Graduation Project.

I have chosen Open-Source Software...

And for my product I have chosen to find a way to improve on Firefox Portable...
I do not have any coding experience but I really want to do this... is there anybody out there who can help get started... like what kind of coding language I should learn and stuff like that if anybody is willing to help me that would totally awesome...

Just wondered if John knows about this site, http://www.democrakey.com/ ,it looks like he is redistributing the menu with John's branding. Wondered if this is OK, as looks a bit suspect to me!

Depends on the license that the menu has I suppose, and of course John might be involved, but if not, though I'd let you know!

Just a few things I've noticed:

• The <img /> for the RSS button isn't closed
• The front page says "Click here for more" at the bottom, but it isn't a link.
• The PortableApps Menu is missing from the compatibility page

I just found UnDoReg v1.46. Its a cute little programm to undo registry changes.
I havent checked whether it is virus/malware-free or leaves registry itself.(I have linux...)
