General Discussion

Today, McAfee VirusScan reported virus alert at the portable apps (including ThunderbirdPortable and FirefoxPortable). I download one new package from
http://portableapps.com and http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/. The package
from mozilla works fine. But VirusScan reports virus in the one from portableapps.

Please double check the portableapps application. Thanks.

The following are the virus information:

Hey guys, really love all this, but is there a way to set a global proxy profile (or just global networking profiles in general)? i really dont like having to change these for every single application.
i have seen some suggest running a local proxy that then reroutes, but that seems a bit overdone...

I think that the PortableApps menu should have some sort of icon or toolbar that automatically pops up whenever you insert the flash drive in.

Just ran across these today. They were linked from digg.com and slashdot.org.
Looks like these packaged apps let you run the typically web-based app locally and use data from the web or run completely off-line.
What does everyone think about the usefulness of running web-based apps this way? And will there be a need to make them portable on a USB drive?

Hi

I know this has been asked quite alot(I did a search first) and read most of search results.

I am hoping maybe that since some of those topics where old and long that maybe someone has found something new.

For the last few days I been searching for an encryption program but could not find any good ones.

Is it me? Or are the forums slow lately?
I posted 3 updates to my menu and haven't seen an response.

Hey, i really dont know who does the site so I am assuming it is John
Could we have the newer posts show up first so we don't have to scroll do the bottom to see them?
thanks

If in a computer where command is restricted, (Start->Run->cmd is blocked) will this still work?

Anyone know of a simple Explorer replacement? When I say simple, I mean a Open dialog style one. For browsing files, I currently open Notepad++ and click File » Open to do it.

I'm planning to make a portable version of it, because it would so totally be better than using normal Explorer. If one doesn't exist, I might make one myself.
