General Discussion

Hi i am planning to buy a USB flash stick and wondered if the speeds were ok not just for portable apps but other stuff here are the specs

# Read Speed: 10.5MB/S (70X)
# Write speed: 7.24MB/s (48X)

It is quite cheap so i am planning to buy it ( $25 )

Thanks in advance

So now that Official apps are being signed, what is the best way to actually check these signatures? The only app I have found thus far is a command line tool from Microsoft called SigCheck. It gets the job done, but isn't exactly user friendly. So what have other people been using to check the signatures?

i'm in a travelling time
and using portableapps on pubblic internet places
really makes me feel safe... was some time that i was looking to find a portable solution to keep my data safe
anyway
i set up a truecrypt volume on my usb key
where i put a portableapps suite adds some more of available usefull apps
now i'm testing it
and here's the problem:
many times i can't not remove my usb key
because is still in use
_for me is not_
so the only way is to took it out
but is not really the best solution i guess
i believe that someone other have already met this problem

Hi all

I've just deleted accidentally the StartPortableApps.exe, is it possible to download just the portableApps-starter?

thank for all help

KMP is closed a closed source freeware, but it does run portably. I just thought I would put it up here to see if anyone has anything better than this that is fully portable.

I created a autorun program, that only runs a specified application(s) when it detects an internet connection. I use my drive in a variety of places and not all of them have internet. I had set my Thunderbird and other apps to autorun, but got tired of them popping up even when I didn't have internet So I wrote a small program that detects a connection, and optionally asks you if you would like to start your applications, if there is no connection nothing happens.

Is there a way to create an installation package for installing the portableapps software and a customized set of applications on 50-100 USB thumb drives? I would like to make this package available so users could easily run an installation and have it install the necessary mobile software into a portableapps format without having to selectively download and install the software. Also, is there a way to package updates for the different mobile application software as updates become available?

All,

I have read some posts regarding which drives are good for Portable apps, and I wanted to share my experience. I run most of my apps as portable apps on my USB drive, so everything will run exactly the same at work and at home. I even have some old legacy Windows apps that I run entirely from my USB drive. I had a 2 year old 2 GB Lexar Lightning drive that I was happy with, but I needed more space, so I researched which drives were supposed to be fast.

can't belive this app, will this work when i bring it to a computer with admin rights? how can they not stop it?

Some of you may already know, but those of u that havent heard of darksusb USE CAUTION WHEN USING COMPUTERS AT SCHOOL OR AT THE LIBRARY. So far i have heard that this Trojan originated from mexico. I recently got it from my school while using the computer in my engineering class. I scanned my usb and it was never detected by Norton or Mcafee, so far the only scanner that will remove it is ClamWin that is found on this site (thanks 4 saving my usb) I will tell you what the trojan did to my usb.
