Is ShareX Portable a virus that deletes all files and then extorts money?

Submitted by Anatoliy Kovalenko on March 27, 2023 - 7:29pm

Почему пятно того же цвета, что и кожа современных расистов, в HTML-коде этой страницы называется «Eraser Portable Screenshot»? Это вирус, удаляющий все файлы, а потом вымогающий деньги?
Нажмите «Ctrl+u», затем «Ctrl+f» и поищите указанную фразу.
Или просто руки растут из того места, которое в качестве головы используется?
P.S. Всё равно Вы этот комментарий удалите (в лучшем случае).

Where is portableapps Firefox profile located at?

Submitted by gwt10 on March 16, 2023 - 3:30pm

I recently tried to back up my FF portable profile and found it located on the C:/ ... apps/data/roaming... folder on the last machine that I used. This was found using the about:profiles function.

Is Firefox now designed like Chrome where you can't back up a full profile without it creating a fresh blank profile?

PasswordSafe Portable issue

Submitted by JF_Sly on March 7, 2023 - 9:57pm

Hey all, been using PasswordSafe portable for a long time. I have experienced an issue with the last two versions. If I try to open a safe dB file by double clicking on it, it gives an error. The previous version would then delete all files in the safes folder after you acknowledge the error. I updated to the most current version on portableapps.com. it still causes the error but didn't delete the file. Got the same error if you try right click 》 open with. The only way to open was start the app first and then open it from inside the app.

Are any folks out there using LibreOffice 7.5.0 on Windows 7, 8.0, or 8.1 successfully? It crashes with an error in kernelbase.dll while starting up on both our 32-bit and 64-bit Win 7, 8, and 8.1 test virtual machines. This is what's preventing our 7.5.0 release.

I asked on Twitter, too.

Typical crash:
