Defense against the dark arts...

Submitted by LanceHaverkamp on January 6, 2008 - 1:38am

Is there a discussion thread about how to defend against evil computers that try to steal the data off your flash drive? Such as:

1) Does ClamAV consider USB Dumper, hacksaw & switchblade a threat?

2) Is putting eicar.com on your flash drive (to mess with their AV program) too cruel?

3) Is there a standardized method of crypto for both files & PGP keyrings? And does that work against things like USB Dumper, hacksaw & switchblade; or do they just re-read the decrypted versions?

Thanks,

Lance

It would be more advanced if there was a portableApp that created new portableApps with the following information:

ICO file
EXE file
JPG file (Startup)
INI file's

If theres any more files that are missing or wrong please reply.

PortableApps suites on offer at Softpedia are getting a little aged

Submitted by grannyGeek on January 4, 2008 - 12:37am

http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Applications-suites/

Lite suite is from May 2007, standard (?) suite v 1.0 from November *2006*.

You guys don't want your reputation at jeopardy, I know.....

I dunno who submits to download sites, but these need updating.
(or removal? I was rather surprised to see the suites there, I thought this is the official download site.)

Keep up the great work all.

Happy New Year

how can i move portableapps from one key to another?

Submitted by zambo335 on January 3, 2008 - 9:23am

hi,

I need to use a larger usb key so I tried to move the entire content (PortableApps, Documents and files) just copying it from the Cruzer 1Gb to the Kingston 2Gb but something doesn't work.
I can't associate OpenOffice to its files, nor by "open with".

can you help me, please?
Do I need to reinstall PortableApps?
thank you

Dealing with commonly repeated threads

Submitted by José Pedro Arvela on January 2, 2008 - 8:55am

This as always been a problem. Someone creates an account and creates a thread saying: "Gimme this. How do I do that?".

This is a very discussed topic, meanwhile, nobody has come to a solution about this. I think we should create a definitive solution, not just for the Request Apps Forum, but for other Forums too.

We should reduce the amount of commonly repeated threads significantly!
