Hi,

Just returned from holiday and tried to download Infrarecorder and my McAfee won't let me, telling me that it contains the NSIS 23 trojan.

Anyone else had trouble?

Thanks for any help,

Ian

Edit: Thought Java Portable had the same problem but it seems fine - only InfraRecorder

I think it would be quite helpful if you added a "Launchers" link to the top of the PortableApps.com website. It could go between the links for Applications and Suite. It would be organized just like the applications page, with categories. If would be up to John if Beta/Development Releases were put there or not. I just get tired of searching the forum for specific Launchers when we could have all of them located in easy-to-find repository.

Since we've been doing a slew of updates recently, I figured it would be an appropriate time to debut the new "More News" page. This is a link you can click from the homepage to see the latest news from PortableApps.com including stories that have fallen off the homepage. It's a handy way to keep track of what's going on if you've been offline for a while. And a handy way to track new app releases until our updater goes live.

I've seen many posts about Firefox being slow. I've seen tons of tweaks and tips posted. I have a much more "simplistic" approach.

I run other programs and things off of my PortableApps flash drive, and over time I noticed micro pauses in browsing. Recently this reached a point where it was more than a second or 10 and the FireFox logo in the upper left corner would turn into the default unknown icon windows uses. (empty white box with blue bar across the top)

Hi All,

Recently I have been experiencing complete (random?) disconnects of my portable HDD.

My setup:
After dropping/destroying my drive once as a result of moving my notebook, I now use valcro to stick my 2.5" HDD case (Vantec NextStar 3) to the back of my notebook monitor. Then run a short usb cable to my usb port on the side.

I'm using PAM 2.0 Beta 3 on a HP nc6220 running XP Pro SP3.

Is there a way to automatically sync files on memory stick with files on computer each time you plug it in?

I'm sure there's some software out there that can do this.

Thanks!

I just joined Portable apps yesterday and I thought I got to a page that listed thousands of apps. For instance if I click on the games link I get to a page that has around 10 games on it. But I thought that I got to a page yesterday that had several thousand games on it. I can't seem to get to that page again. How do I get there.

After numerous failed attempts to download the full application Suite I am wondering why there is not an official p2p/torrent release like OpenOffice.org has. I find that to be the fastest and most reliable way to download. It not just for pirates

Anyone here run FreeOTFE off their flash drive? How does it compare to TC?

It says on the site:

"Highly portable - Not only does FreeOTFE offer "portable mode", eliminating the need for it to be installed before use, it also offers FreeOTFE Explorer - a system which allows FreeOTFE volumes to be accessed not only without installing any software, but also on PCs where no administrator rights are available. This makes it ideal for use (for example) with USB flash drives, and when visiting Internet Cafés (AKA Cybercafés), where PCs are available for use, but only as a "standard" user.
