I've been a member of this forum for 7 years 7 months. I've seen a lot of people come and go, and I've enjoyed watching this community grow and the selection and quality of apps increase each year. When I logged on tonight, to catch up on forum posts, I was greeted by a post who's subject line was " Nah, I'm thinking ***** bigger than brain ".

File Associations in the PortableApps.com Platform, How Windows 8 & 10 Break Things, What Do You Think?

As many folks know, we've wanted to add file associations to the PortableApps.com Platform for a while now, but we've wanted to do it well. A good chunk of the underpinnings are done though the UI is unfinished. Unfortunately, Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 don't permit apps to adjust file associations and then set them back anymore the way we had planned when developing for Windows XP/Vista/7. Associations must go through the OS with the user being prompted to change them.

File association

I apologize if my question is a "frequent question", but also by reading various posts I have not found a solution.

How can I associate the various files with their portable applications?
I've read about the PortableFileAssociator but the download is blocked by the presence of malware.

Norton Internet Security WS.Reputation.1

Submitted by portablefan on September 2, 2015 - 3:23pm

Dear Sir,

Norton Internet Security is blocking the download of xnviewportable.2.33.paf.exe and pdf-xchangeviewer.portable_2.5.313.1.paf.exe from www.portableapps.com on my notebook, saying it does not trust these programs because there would be too few users, this is called WS.Reputation.1 Kaspersky accepted to install them on another computer, so I was able to test them. Is there any possibility of teaching Norton Internet Security to accept them on my notebook too?

Best regards
