General Discussion

Okay for those of you that are more computer savey you all know what it is like to have a friend or family plead for help because their computer is too slow or just not working right. Well in an attempt to make this easier on everyone post what portable software you use to help fix the computer. Please also put a link to where it can be gotten from.

My tool kit includes:

Genreal Cleaning

I'm looking for the geek.menu forum. I searched to no avail. John did mentioned in a November posting that one was available.

Is it illegal to post a link to to a torrent or to make a reference to where to find a portable app? Just wondering, Thanks for the answers

Enjoy!

Is there a discussion thread about how to defend against evil computers that try to steal the data off your flash drive? Such as:

1) Does ClamAV consider USB Dumper, hacksaw & switchblade a threat?

2) Is putting eicar.com on your flash drive (to mess with their AV program) too cruel?

3) Is there a standardized method of crypto for both files & PGP keyrings? And does that work against things like USB Dumper, hacksaw & switchblade; or do they just re-read the decrypted versions?

Thanks,

Lance

It would be more advanced if there was a portableApp that created new portableApps with the following information:

ICO file
EXE file
JPG file (Startup)
INI file's

If theres any more files that are missing or wrong please reply.

Hi all,

I looked around a bit (pun intended) for a torrent to download the suite, but didn't find one; it would save you a fair amount of bandwidth.

Lite suite is from May 2007, standard (?) suite v 1.0 from November *2006*.

You guys don't want your reputation at jeopardy, I know.....

I dunno who submits to download sites, but these need updating.
(or removal? I was rather surprised to see the suites there, I thought this is the official download site.)

Hey all,
I was just browsing on Yahoo and i came across this article. It mentions PortableApps and points to the site.

I guess we are going to get more of those fun App Requests!!!

Keep up the great work all.

Happy New Year

hi,

I need to use a larger usb key so I tried to move the entire content (PortableApps, Documents and files) just copying it from the Cruzer 1Gb to the Kingston 2Gb but something doesn't work.
I can't associate OpenOffice to its files, nor by "open with".

can you help me, please?
Do I need to reinstall PortableApps?
thank you
