Portable Google Chrome - XP - Read Only Problem

Submitted by eager on January 15, 2012 - 10:46am

Hello,

I'm trying to change the permissions for Portable Google Chronme from Read Only in XP Pro.

I've accessed Administrator as well as regular user to change it but it's not retaining the changes.

There's a green box inside a larger box next to Read Only. I can remove that green box and click Apply where it prompts me to apply to all folders and sub-folders with I do next to that option. I click Apply and then OK.

But, when I right click Properties again that green box reappears.

I'm trying to run Google Portable Chrome on my desktop PC.

Clamwin portable

I keep getting this result from clamwin portable:

Z:\tor\Tor Browser\App\tor-resolve.exe: Trojan.Fakesec-310 FOUND
Z:\tor\Tor Browser\App\tor.exe: Trojan.Fakesec-310 FOUND
Z:\tor\Tor Browser\App\vidalia.exe: Trojan.Fakesec-310 FOUND
Z:\tor\Tor Browser\App\mingwm10.dll: Trojan.Fakesec-310 FOUND

Is this a false positive? It must be because none of the antivirs at jotti recognizes it.

Cheers.

IrfanView 4.32

Submitted by Chim on January 8, 2012 - 10:52am

So, when is the PA.com version of IrfanView going to be updated to 4.32?
I see that Softpedia already has a Portable IrfanView 4.32.
Why is PA.com's version still 4.30?
I'd rather have a PA.com version.

Moving Apps from ver.1.6.1.0 to ver.10.0.1. Is there a simple way?

Submitted by lllllllll on January 8, 2012 - 7:39am

Is it possible to move Apps from old 1.6.1.0 version using Windows Explorer?
(Not via fresh installing in 10.0.1 version)

I am using many Apps in 1.6.1.0 version (win7-32). And few Apps like Firefox have many own Extensions.
In old days I did that and it was Ok.
