VMWare THINSTALL

Submitted by YuTriPPinHoE on February 24, 2009 - 1:54pm

Hey guys im new to this site, have downloaded a couple programs with no problems but i have a question. I want to upload my own portable apps but they are made with vmwares thinstall application. These programs can be moddified to resource the information needed to run in either the user directory or within the folder that the .exe is located.

If i am allowed i have a copy of limewire that i have made into one .exe which is about 8 mb in size. I also have made other open sourced or freely downloaded programs as well.

Warning: Be wary of "unofficial" "Appz"

For safety purposes be sure your Portable Apps come from PortableApps.com or you made them portable yourself.

I was going to comment in the topic about the site, but it appears to have been deleted. For good reason, too; it was linking to a warez site.

I got curious earlier and decided to install one of their "appz". Nothing illegal (except, possibly, for them to have redistributed). I simply downloaded a portable AdAware. I figured what the heck, PA.com doesn't offer any kind of portable malware detection, it would go good with my utilities.

I tried to put Paint.NET on the platform (it works fine) but it has five exes, I only want PortableApps to display one, how can I do this?

Viruses found in two PortableApps I downloaded

Submitted by MMynaardt on February 22, 2009 - 4:21pm

Hi!

I did a weekly scan with Trend Micro Internet Security (TMIS). On my desktop and on my two laptops. I got virus warnings two different PortableApps installers I had downloaded.

The first was for GnuCashPortable. The file "oxf201.dtd" was listed as having a virus.

The second was for AbiWordPortable. The file "AbiWord.profile" was listed as having a virus.

It was also the same virus for both according to TMIS; "TROJ_Generic.DIT"

Wink Demo of Stickies Sputnik_LSB skin

Submitted by dragonmage on February 22, 2009 - 12:40pm

I've been working on a portable desktop environment, based on the Sputnik theme. I'm trying to skin as many apps that can be skinned to fit in the top and side bar, as I can. This is an earlier demo of the Stickies skin I did. It has changed some since, and will probably change more. I just want to start showing some previews of the stuff I'm working on.
