When visiting the https://portableapps.com/news site while NOT being logged in, the navigation buttons seem to sometimes contain spam links.

Example from the source of page 1:

I have apps that were installed a long time ago and that I have never used.
I am moving the whole collection every time I change PCs.
I always keep all the apps reported at startup up-to-date, even those I don't use.

When I download an app for example AIMP, it says this download has been blocked because it considered unsafe according to Microsoft SmartScreen. Is this a false positive?

Today Chrome is flagging all downloads from this site as malicious and not even giving me a option to keep it, just dismiss it.

Tested with Firefox and it also flags the downloads as containing malware, but at least it gives me the option to allow the download.

Is there a way to contact Chrome and let them know they are detecting a false positive?

I have been registered on this forum for many years, but this is one of the very few times I have posted.

Hi, I am using WinMerge Portableapps to compare files (great for that).
And I have another tool compare folders (WinMerge folder comparison is not usable), which is not portable unfortunately. https://imgur.com/a/qhse3hS

Is there an environment variable created by PortableApps Platform I can use in order to enter the path of WinMerge Portable?

Hi, I am using Ditto Portable (great app for information) on my Windows 11. This app is located on my Office Onedrive and I have set the Onedrive option 'Always keep on this device' option to DittoPortable folder. I also set this app to start automatically with Windows.
Unfortunately after just a few days, first Ditto lost its database history and then a few days ago the Ditto configuration option I set for this app (it is a highly customizable app) disappeared.
Am i doing something wrong ? How can I prevent this ?
