outdated apps

Submitted by user123 on February 10, 2014 - 12:02am

I know the team works hard to ensuring the apps are up to date, but I know that most of the time they are not.
I'm using SUMo to see what is up to date and what is not so i'll keep my portable apps (which i installed on my own and are not part of the portableapps.com suite) up to date.
SUMo makes life real easy to find out what needs handling so I recommand to use it.
maybe even add it to the portableapps.com suite (if the license is valid for that, not sure).

Mass download installers without the platform?

Since the platform does not yet support saving installers during update, is there a way for me to download all the updates en-masse without hurting my wrists doing one file at a time?

I'd even pay for either a dvd update or usb key update once or twice a year (Or more).

I have a lot of friends who like portableapps but don't have my internet bandwidth and I'm trying to help them out.

Help with updating OpenVPN to latest version

Submitted by Rochey on February 4, 2014 - 6:10am

I managed to find OpenVPN portable 1.8.2 which updated to version 2.2.2 when I first ran it. The latest version is 2.3.2 (with some fixes that I need) I thought I would replace the files that the 2.2.2.zip replaced so that it would become the latest version, but when I did it wouldn't open the gui. It would just kill itself.

Is there anyone that could help? Is there something else that needs to be done?

Navigate *completely* anonymous using portable apps

Submitted by javiwankenobi on February 3, 2014 - 6:53pm

I recently got assigned a laptop from the company I work for. While at home, I want to be able to use it for personal browsing, but my company has strict rules against this.

Specifically they dont allow:
-Use of other browser than IE
-Use of social networks, netflix, spotify, etc
-Installing any software on the laptop.

Since Im not required work from home, I think what I do in my free time shouldnt be bound to these rules.So Im wondering how I can bypass all these limitations.

Please Test This McAfee Stinger Download Method

I'd like some assistance from folks in troubleshooting the McAfee Stinger online installer. These steps will need to be taken from a network that hasn't been previously used to manually download stinger32.exe from McAfee. By network, I mean your internal network with the same public facing IP address.

1. Download McAfee Stinger Portable.

Portableapps removed yet still functioning....Help please.

Submitted by Mclane on January 28, 2014 - 10:52am

Hi there,

I am helping a friend who installed portableapps but didn't like the fact it renamed drives (well semi renamed them), I searched and told him about editing the autorun.ini and changing the label as instructed on here. He did this but said the name remained portableapps.com so he asked me how to remove portableapps, again I checked here and saw it was a 'snap' and got him on the flashdrives to remove the portableapps dir and autorun, he instead formatted the drives so basically the same.
