The recent McAfee Stinger Portable 11.0.0.344 update gives a 404 error when trying to update via the platform updater.

Thanks,

Fx sandboxie put a browser in a sandbox so it doesn't effect the system.

Does portableapps do the same when the browser has its own data/other folder?

How to make your portable apps fly - yes even Firefox!

Google the above topic for details on Intel's latest.

I have found WireCutter to be a reliable review site at least so far, just google any term as below:

For those willing to carry an HDD:

There appears to be a problem with Autoruns when installing. The error is "The downloaded copy of Autoruns is not valid and cannot be installed. Please try installing again." This appear appears when running as both regular user and administrator.

Sorry if this isn't the right spot, didn't see a "site support" forum.

Every time I log in, my password doesn't work.

I request a new one, open my email, use the temp login link, change the password, no go every time.

So now every time I have business here that requires me to login, I have to use the "request a password" temporary login.

Latest Chrome. Both using LastPass auto-remember and a regular login. Also tried with IE, no go.

Not a major issue I suppose, but thought I'd let you know.

It's been almost a year now.

JauntPE is a good candidate. Developed ceased but it can be forked and improved. Just need some volunteers.

Hi,

When Skype started the first time, Windows 7's default firewall ask me about allowing Skype. But to allow it, I needed for admin password. So why that it should be like this? There is no another way to start Skype without admin rights? Pidgin, Firefox, Chrome and others use internet too, but they don't need admin rights.

The firewall question is here: http://s13.postimg.org/f1fy0c76f/image.png

If I don't allow Skype works properly (as I see). But why it needs admin rights?

Thank you

I would like to save Mozilla Firefox to a USB Flashdrive but doing it for the first time.What is the minimum USB size that I should use and how easy is it to save to the USB - I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome to my computer but cannot recall being asked where I want it to be saved.

Thanks to anyone being helpful.

I wanted to have a discussion on the state of Windows 2000 support and whether it is worth continuing the limited support we do offer.

Background

Windows 2000 was fully discontinued on July 31, 2010, nearly 3 years ago, when Microsoft ended the extended support phase. No new security patches are issued for it. Windows 2000 shows up with 0.05% of the market according to NetMarketShare (as of 5/31/2013).
