General Discussion

My understanding is that all PortableApps.com apps are scanned by VirusTotal before they are approved to be served to the PortableApps.com Platform.

Is this understanding correct?

If so, how often are they rescanned? The engines and definitions used by VirusTotal are always improving, and so rescanning is obviously important.

Of course, VirusTotal can easily miss malware, so it should only be used as a small component of any security setup.

Chrome Version 106.0.5249.103

Have you heard of this before with Portable Chrome, or Chrome in general?

I cant import settings. When I try, nothing happens. Same thing happens when I try to import My Filters, but I can paste and save into My Filters.

Works fine on Firefox.

I disabled all extensions except Ublock. Disabled all experimental settings.

I just created a fresh install. Added ublock. "Restore from file" still won't import.

Is the fact that I'm trying to import the Firefox exported settings possibly the problem?

Lately it seems you are not behind the eight ball as firefox is at 105.0.3
ther updates are a bit slow implmenting the newer versions

When I install the above mentioned USB into a USB port on my above mentioned LG GRAM with Windows 11 and double click the Start.exe in Windows Explorer I get this message; "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher". However, if I double click on PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_22.0.1.paf.exe and reinstall the platform all is well until the next time I install the same USB drive and double click the Start.exe. Is there a platform just for Windows 11 or what is the trouble? Also, is there a way to attach a copy of the message as a file?

For a long time, the portableapps suite do not update automatically some applications. In the beginning it was just libreoffice. I stayed at libreoffice 7.1.4 and believe I did this update manually. Now, other applications have been added to this list:
- CCleaner via ccPortable 6.04.10044
- Opera 91.0.4516.20
- Team Viewer 15.34.4
- Wise Ddata recovery 6.1.3

I have 2 PCs with Windows 7 64-bit and have the same problem on both.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you

I was wondering if there's any interest in ARM versions of apps being included in bundles where it is low impact. These would be for Windows 10/11 on ARM devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro X, Samsung Galaxy Book Go/S, Lenovo Flex 5G, HP Elite Folio, etc as well as for folks daring enough to get Windows on ARM running on the Mac M1/M2 machines. This would only affect a handful of apps like CrystalDiskInfo/Mark, Sysinternals utilities, 7-Zip, etc and only when it makes sense size wise in relation to performance.

Have been telling this now long way

You are killing the ones that once have told you of how not to behave.

Some portable apps run fine with standard user accounts like putty. But wincdemu has a uac admin credential popup to allow "this app [from an untrusted publisher] to make changes of your device."

For apps like that, it would be useful to know, have them tagged, and be able to filter by that attribute.

I tried to run some of these apps with the runasinvoker command, but they usually require drivers or something so they can't be ran as a standard user.
