Which AntiVirus do you use and why?
Personally I use ESET NOD32 because it got some excellent reviews.
It seems quite a few people use Avast, how good is their product?
I used Symantec for years, but their products have been going down hill the past couple years.

Anyone know if Framakeys ZazouMiniWebServer has an english language config anywhere? I know no French so can't ask there ... :/

I made a portable paint.net

Here it is.

I just installed the new PortableApps Menu Beta. Now, when I open the PortableApps Menu, the logo at the very top of it is all pixellated. Can anybody tell me what is wrong?

Here is a screenshot of what the menu looks like.

I would like to express my appreciation to you, John Haller, for creating and maintaining such an incredible website, beautifully converted portable apps and an ever-present.............well....presence...on these forums to try and help others.

I need an encrypted vault for my stick. Does anyone here have experience and recommendations with Protable Vault Pro or e-capsule Private Safe? Or is there something better for that purpose at "Portable Apps" or somewhere else?

Both are on U3 Central as "trials".

Over the past several weeks, I've had alerts on opening various PortableApps on my desktop PC from Webroot Spy Sweeper (version 5.3.2.2361, fully updated definitions), with Sophos Anti-virus both activated and not activated. The PortableApps have included the current versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, GAIM, Sudoku, and I believe another one, which I can't recall offhand.

My major concern is what portable apps leaves behind on the host computer. If I am using a portable apps browser and surfing the internet at work does it leave a log file somewhere that needs to be deleted? Does the fire wall still log the sites you go to? Is there a primer I can read on this somewhere?

Thanks

Hi, I'm a brand-new user of this suite, and having a small glitch.

I'm using the Standard Suite on a FireLite portable 80-gig USB2 hard-drive. Using Windows XP ServicePack 2 on both computers I have tried this on.

After launching the menu the first time, the icon appears in the systray as expected.
