As mentioned here: https://portableapps.com/node/15583#comment-171616

Here is a list of AV companies, and how to contact them.
"email sent" indicates I have sent them an email asking for instructions on how to submit a FP.

nothing after the AV name indicates I haven't gotten to that one yet.

If anyone else comes across any more, I'll add them to this list.

Ahnlab: email set
Antivir: http://analysis.avira.com/samples/index.php
Antiy AVL: email sent
Avast: http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php?loadStyles or virus@avast.com w/ "False Positive" subject

Sorry, don't know a better place to put this.

The link to the PA.c Installer on the main development page should probably have the version number removed, as it points to a permalink page, and in any case, is 5 versions behind.

Portability question

Submitted by Den Duze on February 24, 2011 - 5:11am

Hello,
I'm am new to the Portable Apps (aka PA) community and I'm looking at the possibilities of the platform.
I wonder if the following usage of the PA is possible ans meaningful.

If I install the PA applications on a USB-stick and I copy the whole PA-directory to a drive of an (not trusted) PC can I use all the installed applications?
I think that will be possible. Or am I wrong?

If I used the PA in that way and I'm done with that (untrusted PC) and I delete that whole PA-directory. Is everything really gone from that PC?

I know that there are programs you have made for this inquiry but i find this more suitable. What if instead of us having to click the exe program every time we log on to our computers, you guys actually make a installable program that will make a task in the scheduled tasks list so that when we log on or when our computers start up we don't have to do anything besides insert the drive?

Portable Apps and update

Submitted by tobiasBora on February 19, 2011 - 10:39am

Hello,
First, excuse me if I make spelling mistakes. (I'm French and I don't speak very well English).

This is my question : When an Apps is update on Partable Apps, is she automaticaly update on our platform ? If not, how can we know when an Apps is update ? I must check every Apps manualy ? And if this fonction isn't present, it will be present on the next version ?

Thanks.

Tobias Bora

And if I make spelling mistakes, tell me !
