Hi!

I use PortableApps on a cloud-service. Because this I didn´t have so much space. Last updates the launcher installs let the folder grow. Why?

Is it simple because the updated app is bigger as the old or are there any install/backup files with the update?

Hope you can understand my question. Thank you.

Hi -

Firstly, love portable apps... I find it a really convenient way of having apps I use available to use either on my own PC's or others using DropBox...

Anyway, I have an issue and was thinking something like PortableApps - if not Portable Apps itself - might be a solution. I have an air-gapped network with no internet access. Is it possible to get the portable Apps client to search a prestaged, pre-populated repository of permitted apps?

I first created some Scribus files on my desktop and put them on a jump drive. I figured that the Scribus program would also have to be present for those files to open. So I downloaded the portable version of Scribus on the the flash drive. The files would not open.

As Firefox is ending support for extensions very soon, it looks like it will become rather useless then.
Which browser will still be able to use some extensions after Nov 17?
Which browser is recomended replacement?
Chrome based once are not really an alternative, as they can not be made portable really, so what will remain?

There seems to be very many processes for a single program:

Is it like it should be?

When I open PortableApps.com, it prompts for me to update the apps. I allow that but, during the updates, Malwarebytes audibly warns that "Threats have been detected". What happened?

Tried to find this in the forum but could not find an answer: Why do all the apps consist of separate files instead of stored in a container.
Memory sticks are much faster with a large single file than with all the seperate small files

Hello Forum
I am new to PortableApps and the forum, I know nothing about Java apart from it needs to be updated to stop mallware and other nasties.

JDownloader portable is a big plus, Thank you to the team or person involved in creating this also Thank you to the many people who develop other portable apps. I have tried my best to sort this issue out but dont seem any further forward after spending the whole day trying to figure it out.

Both AVG and AVAST report that cdex 192 are infected with Win32:Malware-gen.

I'm a long-time user of PortableApps.com, I install and update using the PortableApps Platform.

We recently learned that hackers had slipped malware and therefore compromising Avast's CCleaner, which infected 2.27M users, read the story here: https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/18/avast-reckons-ccleaner-malware-infecte...

My question is, is PortableApps vulnerable to this? Is PortableApps doing enough to prevent this type of compromise?
