Would anyone like EyeOS portable? It's an open-source, web based operating system. I've been working on a portable version for a couple days, so if anyone else besides me would like it, please post here. Yes, you can get a free eyeos account at eyeos.info, but there server's sometimes slow, and, just for privacy's sake.

Edit: I have the installer posted in the beta testing forum. Get it here:

Hello, first, sorry my poor english, second.. I like PortableApps, and I use a lot, but, in several times, Portable Menu seem to be frozen, when I set mouse up the tray icon. show me the hint, but, when I click or double-click to show me a menu, nothing appears, To work and get the menu, I made this: Kill app in Task Manager and run again.

My question is, its normal? Whats is my problem in PortableApps?

Best Regards,
Fellipe H.

Hello first post. I have been using my Sony Micro Vault Tiny for a while now. But when ever I try putting an autorun file on it, it get overwritten with this message


<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
<!-- This is an automatically generated file.
It will be read and overwritten.
DO NOT EDIT! -->
<META HTTP-EQUIV="


Has anyone else expierenced this, is there any way around it?

I wasn't paying attention and put my stick into a computer that apparently had a virus and it overwrote my autostart.inf in my stick which I find to be quite annoying.

Anyway can someone tell me what is suppose to be in the file so that I can recreate it without having to reinstall portable apps menu again?

I recently downloaded the packages open office 3 beta and peazip to find trojan.hupignon in open office 3 and a broken executable with worm in peazip ?

Not very good security boys.

PS Found virus inside clam portable 0.93 using a clam antivirus scanner... not the 0.93 version. Also found broken link insdie.

And...., the boys that scanned the files that have been blue pilled will get false results.

"scan it for viruses before running any of your applications."
But by then you could already have virses thanks to the USB stick's autorun.inf, right?

Would like to make you aware that the image on your Home page, under Nominate This Project, and the image found in several pages, under Community Choice, are missing using my Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers.

Everytime I download Gimp_Portable, irrespective of which version or which download source, I get a corrupt file. This, by doing the standard left click on appropriate download button on whichever site. I have tried through different browsers, for whatever effect that might have. Download stalls about 85% complete, then dies. I have downloaded and installed a new PortableApps platform. I have no problems with downloading anything else.
