General Discussion

We no longer recommend VirusTotal for developers to scan new releases to check for antivirus engine alerts and end users to double-check possible false positives in their installed antivirus engine. This decision is due to poor availability of VirusTotal's engine (it was basically inaccessible for the last 3 days), slow performance of scans likely due to overloading of their servers, and poor quality of the scan results due to inclusion of low-quality antivirus engines and poor settings or beta definitions of some other engines.

found portable apps a while ago and considered using them instead of buying a new computer if I could get a good NLE with it.

the NLE's listed were TEncode and Virtual Dub, both of which are not really to my liking, though Virtual Dub can be useful if you take the time to figure it out, I'm aware. anyway, I went the route of the cheapest computer I could find that would fit my needs

Hi:

Is this the same browser? SC Magazine http://www.scmagazine.com/maxthon-browser-sends-personal-data-to-china-a... sending information )history, etc) to China.

I disagree with the "Keylogger Note" for the On-Screen Keyboard Portable (https://portableapps.com/apps/accessibility/on-screen_keyboard_portable), which says: "While on-screen keyboards offer protection against hardware keyloggers, they do not offer protection against software keyloggers (which are far more common). They are primarily intended as an accessibility tool or for alternate means of text entry (pen-based computing, etc)."

It doesn't even has to be cross-platform, or compatible with anything at all. I just like the layout of Simplenote and Notes. But the web can be slow or not always accessible. I wonder what similar Windows app can you think of, preferably portable.

The one main feature it has to do is auto saving my notes and back up versions of documents, so I don't end up like this ever again: https://portableapps.com/node/53425

According to Polish security researchers at Exatel, Maxthon Cloud currently engages in multiple spyware activities. An English translation of the report can be found here: https://exatel.pl/advisory/maxthonreporten.pdf

User ksdev on Hacker News summarizes it:

TL;DR: It doesn't matter if you agree to join "User Experience Improvement Program" in Maxthon or not - the browser regularly sends this data to Beijing servers:

I just tried to install the current .PAF. file and the install failed :-

"Unable to download file ......./binpack/current.txt (file not found 404)"

Other than this the install appears to work but when I try to run it I get the error :-

CreateProcess failed, exe='F:\PortableApps\OpenPNPortable\App\bin\openvpn.exe' cmdline='openvpn --version' dir='f:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\App\bin'

I assume this is trying to install the 2.3.11 Win7 64 bit version.

This was all under XP. - However, I see the same install problem under Win7 Professional.

This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. please try running the updater again when complete." now i saw john T haller mention to delete the local machine cache but i have deleting all cache i can think of IE cache, microsoft Edge, Firefox, the internet options for temp downloads. I just do not know what to delete and i am out of things to delete, what am i missing? thank you
