Cannot remove USB drive

Submitted by liafail on November 8, 2012 - 4:49pm

After installing portableapps.com on my USB jump drive, and installing an app, I cannot "safely remove" the USB drive. Program "Unlocker" unlocks portableapps (nothing else shows up), but I still cannot safely remove the USB jump drive. I had no problems with portable apps nor this jump drive before installing portableapps.com.

How can I correct this problem?

PortableApps blocked from running

Submitted by Bob Langill on November 8, 2012 - 9:42am

I've been running PortableApp on my work computer from my thumb drive every day for over a year, but now TREND MICRO OfficeScan blocks execution. I get a popup that gives the following information:

I:\Start.exe (risk) high (action) create C:\WINDOWS\system. . .

I get a similar warning if I try to run any of the individual apps by launching them from Windows explorer.

The offce PC is running XP professional. PortableApps Launcher recently upgraded to 11.2

PortableApps Suite ??

Submitted by vishnu81 on November 8, 2012 - 6:13am

One of the best feature i had been using in PortableApps was the Suite which contains all the important apps pre-installed, a 130-150 MB download.
This download i was able to share with people who dont have any kind of access to internet on their systems.
All of them who got to know the Suite were amazed by it.

But now i am not able to find that download, has it been removed ?

Do they store earlier versions?

Hello,

I was wondering if PortableApps stored early version.

For example I go to the "Get Apps" tabs and I scroll down to Skype. When I get on the Skype app page its usually the latest version. (Thanks)

But is there a way for me within that page to see and download an earlier version, portable of course.

Sometimes its really needed.

Best regards,

Hello!

I'm not sure if you can assist me but I'm trying to figure out if there is any logic to determining the new locations of the the version#_chrome_installer.exe on the Google edge download servers.

I keep on eye open over at the http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/ blog and look for new DEV build version releases.

The "Other" category in the utilities section is getting pretty large so I thought why not add a "system utilities" section or somthing the like with system utilities and cleaners:

    AquaSnap Portable (Freeware) - Screen productivity enhancement
    BleachBit Portable - cache, temp file and history cleaner
    Checksum Control Portable - create and verify MD5/SFV checksums
    Command Prompt Portable - Simple link to a customizable command prompt
    Console Portable - console window enhancement
    Disk Cleaner Portable - cache, temp file and history cleaner
