General Discussion

Here's the situation:

I have the following drives:
c: local disk
d: dvd/cd+-rw
e: 4gb flash drive
f: USB external hdd
g: private network share
i: 2GB SD card

So the question is, how do I find out which is quickest for running my PortableApps on without having to actually test them all on each.

What I am looking for is some kind of speed test that will work regardless of where the drive is located.

Can anyone recommend a way to test the read/write speed of these various drives from windows?

Thanks.

I am sure you will all want to join me in saying Happy Birthday John T Haller.

All of us here on the site are over-awed by what you have achieved on the site and with what is coming in the future.

Have a great day John and here is to the next year of PortableApps.com!

ok so i know its been asked before
1. can we use the portable apps logo on a cd of the portable apps suite
2. can we redistribute the portable apps on a cd for profit (me thinks not but asking any way)
3. is there a list of people already doing this?

I have been searching, and I see a lot of fake sites and stuff. But could some one verify me if there is or is not a portable version of Avira or avg? Or anything better then clamwin?

Thanks!

just a suggestion could u make a "full" suite including all software that is "released" rather than the core light and normal add another one called full?

also a wiki for support may be a good thing to look at...... stops people asking silly questions .... (yeah right)

ok i know he grammar is shot but u get the idea.

As topic, can anyone tell me if portable apps here can be run in Win PE?

I have installed it but it is still that red color.

Hey everyone,

As many of you may have seen when you recently updated your virus scanner, many PortableApps.com launchers are being incorrectly identified as having the Trojan.Win32.Pakes.lth trojan. This is known as a "false positive", meaning that the launcher has been falsely identified as a virus. This is currently being identified in all virus scanners which use the Kaspersky definition. If there are others, please leave a comment.

I've been using portableapps for a long time now but today my Kaspersky sounded off that my portable firefox 3.0.4 had a trojan (trojan.win32.pakes.lth). Seemed that several paf.exe files were affected and new downloads from portableapps alarmed. I don't know if its a false positive but please let me know if anyone else has seen anything like this. Thanks.

Hi,

I am just wondering what people think the future of portable apps is. Just on some of the research I have done, it seems the industry is fully pursuing web apps as the platform of the future, but I think portable apps have many advantages (like with web apps, you can access them anywhere, but you can also do things like read and write to/from the local hard drive, which you cant do with web apps).
