General Discussion

We're thinking of using PortableApps in a different way. We offer group training courses over IP telephony (for example, Skype), but a lot of companies do not allow external software to be loaded on their PCs which means we often have to use MS Messenger, which frankly, isn't very good. However, as PortableApps do not save any files to the hard disk of the PC or leave any registers, apparently we can give a USB pen-drive to our clients and they can use Skype without compromising the security of their corporate network. Question: Is this a reasonable theory or just wishful thinking?

I have 2 suggestions for the forums. The 1st is that you shut down the u3 apps part of the forums. It gets hardly any activity, and really isnt relevant anymore.

The 2nd is that a support forum is opened specifically for Google Chrome. Chrome is by far the most asked about topic in the general support forum, and is gaining enough use that i believe it should have its own forum.

Thanks in advance for considering these, whether they are applied or not

I just upgraded to the 1.6.1 Suite and I see in the PortableApps.com's DefaultData folder multiple Themes. How do I switch from the Default red theme to a different theme? There is nothing in the PAM's Options menu to do it and I didn't see anything in the .ini files indicating which theme to use.

Hi
I am new to this PortableApps thing (-:

I am just wondering: I am using a portable version of Chrome on my PC. But just now a newer version have arrived here to this site. So - how do I "upgrade"? I mean, should I overwrite, or delete and install again (but than - what about my old data)?

THANK you!

ok im having some trouble installing ccleaner and other piriform programs, can anyone help

I use my PA flash drive both at work (XP), home (vista), and school (vista). I have an autorun.inf file that just tells it to run portableapps.exe and gives it a new icon in Windows Explorer.

For some reason, every time I plug it in at home, it comes up that I need to format. But if I go into Windows Explorer I can still open and run anything (sans my fancy icon)

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I am a very big user/fan of portableapps.com, I am also very grateful for all the apps that it has released!

Without being to ungrateful - how long do we need to stay tuned!?!?

It has been a very long time that the last portable app has been released

Kind regards

I downloaded the full suite and when I started installing it on my USB Thumb Drive, my CA Antivirus flagged one of the files as possibly being infected.

** 6/1/2010 23:10:57 PM File infection: F:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe may have unknown infection. **

On doing a regular scan with CA, it states that file is suspected of being infected with Win32/ASuspect.HDCCC

Has anyone else run across this?

Thanks.

Hi All

I've setup a secure tunnel using portable putty. I am planning a trip to Europe which I am going to use free hotspots in pubs etc.

I want to setup all traffic to be piped via my secure socks proxy.

Is it possible to setup to use Portable VOIP apps via Socks?

Thanks

When browsing the application list, there is no hint to tell which are the newly updates. So, I think it would be better to put the latest version date alongside the name of the software. It would even be better to add an arrow showing "New" for updates within the past 2 weeks.
