General Discussion

The file is there (if I copy the path from the error message it is opened up) and the Launch section exists as well as its ProgramExecutable value. So I don't understand where the error comes from?!

Thanks.

This program has the Gen:Varian:Fugrafa.152169 virus Detected by Bitdefender.

This is my first intervention in the forum although I have been going to PortableApps for years: I think this is perhaps the best resource site for Windows. I admit I'm a portable apps geek.

My first question has to do with the forum. They are probably right under my nose but I am not able to find the forum search tool. I wouldn't want to ask questions that are already answered.

Could someone help me? Thanks in advance!

Ah. And a very happy new year!

As you know a PortableApp applications consists of an outer, wrapping Portable Component and the inner, core program.

I pinned now some of the outer PortableApps applcations on my hard disk to the Windows TaskBar.

When I click on one of them they are started, they set the environment and finally start the inner actual core application.
It works.

Unfortunately the started inner core application appears as a separate,new thumbnail at the right-most side of the Windows TaskBar.

I use Cruzer Glide sticks and each is named portablow can I rename in vs 19.1 to specifics like 60_TECH or 128_MT?

Hello John,

some apps, which are outdated, contain vulnerabilities, so the updates are really needed for security reasons.
And some apps are many versions behind (like Thunderbird).
So, how is the status of these apps?

Best regards

Can I have multiple instances of the same application?

For example. may I install Firefox, change the folder name, install it again and have both work in parallel and be updated by the PA.c?

Starting a couple of days ago, all updated apps, once downloaded, get flagged by Avast v21.10.2498-build 21.10.6772.706 (signatures 211211-0) as either Win32:Evo-gen (susp) or Win32:Malware-gen.

Due to the generic names of the supposed malware I tend to believe it's a false positive, perhaps something with the wrapper that is being used, and I already reported it to Avast.

Still, could anyone run a check on the repository just to be on the safe side?
