General Discussion

Greetings,

a few days ago I did a virus scan (with ClamWin Portable) of a WinXP box with JKDefrag (non portable apps) installed - it came up with a virus, so I scanned my portable apps usb containing JKDefrag Portable and it also came up with a virus - about a half hour ago I downloaded the latest version of JKDefrag and got

C:\Download\Install\PA_2013_Q1\JkDefragPortable_3.36_Rev_2.paf.exe: Win.Trojan.Autoit-350 FOUND

via ClamWin.

Hi,

Portable apps use more memory than normal installed app. I notice that the memory usage is getting worse if the app is need more resources. For example:

-When I use the Notepad++ as portable or installed version, the memory usage is too small.(let's say that Notepad++ is a small project)

-But when I use LibreOffice the difference is about 100-150 MB.libreoffice is bigger project-use more resources)

-Now it is the first time I try a portable game: AssaultCube. The game starts properly, but I can not play even with worst graphic modes.

Hi

I've just downloaded portableapps 12 beta 2 but still could not find a way to manage file associations, anyone know of a replacement that will work on the current portableapps version? I have found this : https://portableapps.com/node/15583 but the link seems to be broken.

I'm wondering if it is possible to have Portableapps.com on Pinterest?

okay, so i'm an idiot ~

PortableApps.com states:

"A portable app doesn't leave files or folders behind on the PC."

is there truly NOTHING left behind on a laptop you're hooked into with your portable apps on a flash drive?

what if they have a key-stroke recording program installed on the laptop?

my laptop has to go in for repair and they will give me a "loaner" ie: used laptop until i get mine back. will it really be safe to use my passwords, check my bank balance, pay my bills?

thank you!!!

If you're going to start using CAPTCHAs, then I'm not going to be posting anything here again.

I have just installed Portable Apps 11.2 onto a 32GB SD Card (to try out).

I have managed to install one App (CppCheckPortable), but when I try to install another, it just hangs. More than hangs, I cannot shut my PC down. I notice the same thing if I select multiple apps to install, it hangs on the first one every time.

My PC is running Windows 8 64-Bit.

Any ideas someone?

Hi,

I installed new win7 version (from home to ultimate). Before new installation I had My Book connected and automatic backup on.

C and D partition were backed up on the My Book. D partition stayed the same (on computer), with only minor changes in new files. C partition is system, so it's completely changed...and it's not really important to be backed up because I don't keep any docs there.

When we work with new customers quite often we can see a lot of QVD files.
Some of them are quite old and no one is able to tell what is inside and why they were created.
Traditional way was creating script and loading it in to QlikView.
Which is a lot of work if there are a lot QVD files
We just wanted to able to see the content of QVD file.

So we created QEye

Later we released that it will be really great to be able to edit QVD/QVX files.

And this functionality was introduced in QEye version 2:

Whatever you do, do not, I repeat, do not download & use the portable version of qupzilla browser! It is a zombie program that will eat any & all programs, [from the programs main section, or even if you install it in a folder] when it's being uninstalled, leaving you the time consuming task to have to re-install the programs it has "eaten". It can also do an insurmountable amount of damage to your browser & O.S. system. Don't make the mistake that I did with downloading & using this P.A.F. browser program; stay away from it & don't use it!
