Does portableapps platform protect from infections?

Submitted by john17 on June 9, 2015 - 11:11am

Hello to all of you. Let me be clear about my question. If I use the platform on my usb key will my computer be protected from viruses that I may catch while surfing? In other words, if I disconnect my key that has been infected will my computer be clean? I am concerned about ransomware especially. Thanks.

SUMo Updates, Unofficial Apps, .NET Apps

Mod Note: This conversation was split off from the Outdated Apps post to preserve it. - JTH

Hello,

I scaned my PortableApps folder with SUMo (the software Update monitor) and it found many updates available.
Of cause I updated my portable apps via the PortableApps Platform before scanning.

I removed all "unofficial" apps from the list and also all apps that are known as outdated.
Here is the list of Updates that SUMo reports:

Downloaded updates invalid

I'm receiving the error that "downloaded copy of "xxx" is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete"

This is happening with 3 separate portables. Where does Portable Apps download the updates to before it installs them? I'm pretty sure I need to delete the corrupted copy before I can proceed.

Thanks.

Editor: do we need another top level one?

Submitted by Wm ... on June 2, 2015 - 1:51pm

This is for discussion.

NotePad++ isn't quite as portable as it orta be once the plugin updater is included, I use it non-portably at home and on other systems I use frequently, for e.g.

There has been a recent (today) request for RJ Texted but from where I am it seems less generalised than NP++ which puts it into the realm of IDE and non-general editors.

Do we need another editor? We seem to be gathering IDEs that include an editor and so on.

Google Chrome extensions and apps question

Submitted by demipape on May 31, 2015 - 11:45pm

Hi,

I use both Google Chrome and Firefox on my laptops, pcs, mobile, etc. I have a Google account and I sign in to Google Chrome so that all my various data is synced across my Google Chrome devices/sessions. I also use Firefox sync in the same way.

I have now set up PortableApps on a usb stick (with GChromePortable and FFoxPortable).

Undetected apps?

Submitted by NorrinRadd on May 29, 2015 - 9:51pm

I just updated PA from 11.something to the current version. The apps I had previously installed no longer show up in the menu. Their folders are still there under the PA folder, but apparently PA does not "see" them.

Now what?
