https and signatures for portableapps.com website and software

Submitted by mak77 on August 26, 2014 - 8:37am

Hi devs & site admins!

No https connection is possible to your portableapps.com website. So downloading isn't secured against modifying binaries while they fly by... Login passwords aren't confidential, too.
https throws the following error: "ssl_error_rx_record_too_long".
Is this intentional?

Furthermore no GnuPG signatures of the binaries are provided.
Is this good practise in the post-snowden era?

Due to an oversight, we now have 2 "Apps" entries in the system tray right-click menu. The first for the same Apps popup menu as in the main menu with Check For Updates, Get More Apps, etc in it. The second for the new Apps list in the system tray right-click menu. Now, having both is a bit silly. So, we have some options.

Awesome bulk jotti scan application

Hello i have been using portable apps under the radar for years, but i had to make an account to show people this one.

Im sure everyone here has heard of jotti malware scans (http://virusscan.jotti.org/en), if not you really should. It is an online virus scan that uses 18 of the top virus programs to scan each file you upload. The one problem with it is you can only scan one file at a time and its really time consuming.
