General Discussion

We're temporarily running a 'skyscraper' ad in the lower left of the site to analyze revenue vs the standard 'Sponsored Links' list. This is also to see whether AdSense visual ads (image and rich) have improved vs our last look at them when loads of 'fake download' buttons had proliferated. If you see any fake download button or similar ads, please post a note here and let us know so we can disable that site in Google AdSense. (AdSense has really poor tools for excluding deceptive ads and no tools for reporting them, unfortunately)

Hey Guys

Just a suggestion for Sumatra PDFs App Description

Sumatra PDF is currently described as a "a lightweight PDF viewer" in the Portable Apps Directory page (https://portableapps.com/apps)

Based on Sumatra PDFs main site (http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/free-pdf-reader.html) - a more accurate description would be

- A lightweight PDF viewer, Comic Book reader, and E-book Viewer

OR

- Lightweight document viewer (PDF, ePub, MOBI, CHM, XPS, DjVu, CBZ, CBR)

Hi,

When I click PortableFileAssociatordoes.exe it does nothing. Nothing is opening.

-I format my laptop with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit English. I have did all Windows updates first.

-I remove Data folder but it changes nothing.

-I redownload it again but nothing changed.

-I start it from command line. But it types nothing.

-I am using 2.2.1.8 version (which is latest stable).

Is there any possible reason such a case happen?

Thank you

Hi,

Why I can not block portable apps with Windows default Firewall?

I try this command as administrator rights:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="PORTABLE_WiseDiskCleaner" dir=out action=block program="E:\PortableApps\PortableApps\WiseDiskCleanerPortable\App\WiseDiskCleaner\WiseDiskCleaner.exe"

But WiseDiskCleaner still use my network. How can I block with Windows default firewall (or settings)?

Thanks in advance

"Download xxxAPPNAMExxx" shouldn't appear on the page and the green download button graphic is missing. That, or something else isn't right on the following page

Please delete thread after looking into this. Thanx!

Hello,

I'm just wondering if PortableApps can be used for Professional computers?

For instance, Spybot is in free edition. Should I use the pro edition at work?

I have a license for TreeSize Pro. Is it possible to upgrade/replace the free version with my Pro version?

Thank you for any help.

Hello,

I use a program from BitDefender that installs a malformed autorun.inf file that prevents any and all windows based programs from altering the file.

The program can be downloaded from here: http://labs.bitdefender.com/2012/04/immunizer-v3-launched/

and here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Removal-Tools/BitDefender-USB-Imm...

I have all my USB drives protected using this program. The issue that I am having is Portableapps will not run with this file installed on the USB thumb drive or USB hard drive.

I would like to know if it is possible to somehow stop the platform from showing a preview when you hover over the taskbar icon?

I know about the below info, but would like to keep the icon on the taskbar if I can.

Disable the Windows 7 Taskbar Icon
