Being the tech support choice person in my family can be burdensome and so I'm contemplating having family members make use of some kind of remote desktop application. However, I'm wondering what my best choices are with a view to using open source and (where possible) portable software. I'm thinking of making use of some flavor of VNC however I'm wondering what the limitations are on the portable aspect of them. I'm guessing that admin rights are pretty much a must, and possibly "drivers" of some kind might be involved on the server side, so portability there is pretty much out.

I found a portable vesion of Java.

Is this Java a simple runtime-only installation or is it a full
JDK / Java SE installation?

I've ditched the Mollom spam filtering module that we were experimenting with. While it did block some spam over and above the bots we catch with reCapctha (used on account signups) we had users getting false positives and being blocked from posting. Unfortunately, Mollom is a closed-loop service with no ability to train it when it's wrong, which makes it pretty useless for our purposes. It's far better to let a few spammers through and have us mods deal with it than to block legitimate content without any way of fixing the situation.

Hi everyone ,
I am working for an IT company where they are still using the old IE 6 and we cant update the application inside system . If i use the portable apps like Firefox and Chrome will they leave any registry into the System i am working , since that can be issue for me if they do scan of registry or system for any unauthenticated systems. Please confirm .

Thanks for your time and help.

I've enabled new forum badges for all users. I've made them a bit less intrusive than before. I also enabled the ability to display multiple badges. They all have hover titles and link back to the Team page with more of an explanation of what a moderator, translator, etc are. I added a translator badge but haven't gone through and enabled it on all accounts yet. You can see my 3 in this post. To see all 4, see one of Marko's recent posts here: https://portableapps.com/node/23795

How's Mollom working out here?

If anyone doesn't know yet, the PortableApps.com forum is submitting posts to a third party to be machine-analyzed for spam, namely Mollom. When you go to make a post or even just a reply, there's a new link that says "By submitting this forum, you accept the Mollom privacy policy". Clicking the link basically explains what they're doing. In a nutshell, they'll save your post for two months with personally identifiable information, then for another 2 years without it.

Can someone explain to me why https://portableapps.com/tracker doesn't include the Off Topic forum?

The tracker seems to be the best way to see what has been newly posted, but having a blind spot is disconcerting and now I've lost confidence in it.

Is there any better way to see new messages?

Did not know where else to post.
What are the differences between Filezilla FTP and WinSCP? Why choose one over the other? What does PuTTy buy you? I've used Filezilla for many years and I do not understand if I am missing features, etc.
Thank you
