Antivirus Scan links and MD5 collisions, please post if you notice one

I've rolled out Antivirus Scan links and have started rolling out SHA-256 hashes to our app pages as mentioned in today's news story. Some app pages that haven't yet been updated with an SHA-256 will have an MD5 that links to more than one scan on VirusTotal. If you happen to notice one, please post here and I'll prioritize adding that app's SHA-256 to avoid the issue. Thanks!

firefox portable - couldn't load XPCOM

Submitted by jwattsrva on April 14, 2019 - 1:17pm

it looks like this subject hasn't popped up in a while - creating new thread. this morning i auto-updated firefox portable using the platform, and immediately got "firefox couldn't load XPCOM" i ran through some forum recommendations, tried to reinstall, i download a clean version of FirefoxPortable_66.0.3_English.paf.exe to run clean, independently with no imports or changes and it gave me the same error. the solution was to download the previous version FirefoxPortable_66.0.2_English.paf.exe, install over top of my existing version.

Game streaming from my desktop portably

Submitted by Sol33t303 on April 13, 2019 - 10:22am

I was thinking and it would be pretty cool if I were to setup game streaming from my Linux desktop to wherever I might be. For example, maybe I might be at a friends house and we decide to play some video games, so I could just plug in my portableapps USB with some game streaming software and start playing some games, for example.

A few notices and suggestions from a new user

Submitted by AbsolutelyRandom on March 22, 2019 - 9:41am

Hello!
I recently discovered this forum and its great community Smile

I have found PortableApps program enormously useful for a kind of user like me but here are a few of my notices (and suggestions) for the developers of this great website.

1. Some programs in PortableApps are 32-bit only while there are 64-bit versions available, such as:
> GIMP
> FileZilla
> Notepad++
> MirandaNG
> CrystalDiskInfo
> IrfanView
