POrtable Vault Pro or e-capsule Private Safe or something else?

Submitted by koenbv on March 15, 2007 - 1:55pm

I need an encrypted vault for my stick. Does anyone here have experience and recommendations with Protable Vault Pro or e-capsule Private Safe? Or is there something better for that purpose at "Portable Apps" or somewhere else?

Both are on U3 Central as "trials".

"Maxfiles" Adware in several PortableApps

Submitted by synerdigm on March 15, 2007 - 11:24am

Over the past several weeks, I've had alerts on opening various PortableApps on my desktop PC from Webroot Spy Sweeper (version 5.3.2.2361, fully updated definitions), with Sophos Anti-virus both activated and not activated. The PortableApps have included the current versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, GAIM, Sudoku, and I believe another one, which I can't recall offhand.

What does portable apps leave behind?

Submitted by Slickwall on March 15, 2007 - 11:05am

My major concern is what portable apps leaves behind on the host computer. If I am using a portable apps browser and surfing the internet at work does it leave a log file somewhere that needs to be deleted? Does the fire wall still log the sites you go to? Is there a primer I can read on this somewhere?

Thanks

PortableApps menu won't close, usb drive won't "remove safely"

Hi, I'm a brand-new user of this suite, and having a small glitch.

>

I'm using the Standard Suite on a FireLite portable 80-gig USB2 hard-drive. Using Windows XP ServicePack 2 on both computers I have tried this on.

After launching the menu the first time, the icon appears in the systray as expected.

Question on menu

Submitted by camcrazy08 on March 14, 2007 - 5:15pm

Quick question. Is it pretty easy to create different menu themes? I have seen many themes here, and currently have the WOW theme installed, as it looks really sweet. The reason I want to know is that I am pretty crafty with a computer, and would like to make a Final Fantasy XII theme in the same manner.

Is Adobe Photoshop the program of choice, and is there a repository where I can look up information about this?

Thank you for any help you could be!

Submitted by Slickwall on March 14, 2007 - 12:46pm

I have been looking around for the best flash drive to get to run portable apps on and had settled on the Geil David. However; I could not find this sucker anywhere so I called Geil in Chino California and she told me that they no longer manufacuter flash drives. Any suggestion on what I should buy?

Thank you

Customizing PortableApps

Submitted by sardopsycho on March 13, 2007 - 11:33pm

I just got my new Ultra FlyDrive 4GB from TigerDirect. I am constantly on the go and this application looks freaking awesome. However, and I can understand why, there are some like-programs and well, other stuff I won't use.

If I download and install the Standard Edition, can I remove a few of the applications that I do not want?

If so, how do I go about doing this?

thanks in advance!
