Hi

I have chrome portable installed and updated with the latest version. But standard Chrome auto installs somehow on my system. It started recently.
It shows up on my desktop and pins to my task bar. Uninstalling won't work since it comes back up. I make sure not to use it.

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

I install both Portable Chrome and Java 64bit.
But chrome://plugins/ dose not show Java is installed.
Java is installed in \PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java64.
Changing the directory name to \PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java solve the problem.
However, Portable LibreOffice needs Java 32bit version.
Can we have default Java 64bit directory in \PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java64
for all portable applications that require java 64 bits?

Hello,
is possible protect portableapps platform12 with password?

Best

Will FreeFileSync ever be updated again?

I have heard portable applications ought to be slower than installed ones? Is that truth? If yes, why?

I'm curious as to what portable programs others have that aren't offered in the PA directory. Here's my list, please share yours:

Emsisoft Emergency Toolkit\Anti Malware, Comodo Cleaning Essentials, MBAM Chameleon, Malwarebytes AntiRootkit, CCleaner, Decrap my computer, Decrapifier, and TightVNC.

I know they are probably not "true" portable apps and leave something behind. But I favor functionality on the road over privacy on my tech PA drive.

Might there realy be malware in thoses portable apps: http://i.imgur.com/2XbPCiE.png? Should one remove those apps?

This also is shown as malware: \JDownloaderPortable_2.0_Build_19096_Development_Test_1.paf.exe

There's a new bug on SourceForge that affects mirror selection. If you've manually selected a mirror that no longer exists, it will fail to download. If you don't have a SourceForge account, you can clear the selection by clearing your browser's cookies for sourceforge.net.

If you do have a SourceForge account, you will have to log out to be able to download. There is no way to select auto or a different mirror.

Can anyone recommend flash drives which are easy to find (like in Office Depot, or similar large office supply stores), and not 'U3'? Specific brands/model numbers please. I am trying to buy a drive that will work at the local library copiers & computers. Thanks!

I downloaded the installer for portable apps platform (12.5) and began the install to a USB drive. When it was finished, I was asked if I wanted to run it. When I clicked "Finish" I got a message saying it was "unable to connect to PortablApps.com to retrieve portable apps. Please try again later. [Send request error]".

After spending an afternoon "trying again", I redormated the drive and re=downloaded the program - with the same results. I forgot to mention that both times I was still online at the download page of portablapps.com.
