My Mcafee version is 8.0i and it was updated yesterday, virus definition is 5150, created on 10.26. While opening some portable apps such as putty, audacity, mcafee will alert that registry.dll is a virus "Generic StartPage.r", The file is located in temp folder. I believe it is used to save and restore registry settings and does mcafee make a mistake?

Hi all,

there are some threads in the forum about this, but I miss numbers in them. People write 'fast', 'slow', but I'd like to know about the speed of the different models in a more precise way.

For example, for my two 2Gb keys, HDTune gives the following values:

HD Tune: Intuix U3 2Gb
-----------------------
Transfer Rate Minimum : 3.1 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Maximum : 12.4 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Average : 12.1 MB/sec
Access Time : 0.4 ms
Burst Rate : 11.8 MB/sec
CPU Usage : 15.5%

HD Tune: Oki 2GB
----------------

As a few people have mentioned, McAfee and AVG are currently throwing false positives on several of the portable launchers. I'd like to address a few questions:

What is registry.dll?

I would like to change path for Music, Movies and Pictures buttons in PA menu since I don't want those directories to be in root menu. I usually keep them in Download directory in which I store all that I carry arround.

Is there a way to change paths for those buttons so they point to /download/music for example?

Thank you.

Today, McAfee VirusScan reported virus alert at the portable apps (including ThunderbirdPortable and FirefoxPortable). I download one new package from
http://portableapps.com and http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/. The package
from mozilla works fine. But VirusScan reports virus in the one from portableapps.

Please double check the portableapps application. Thanks.

The following are the virus information:

Hey guys, really love all this, but is there a way to set a global proxy profile (or just global networking profiles in general)? i really dont like having to change these for every single application.
i have seen some suggest running a local proxy that then reroutes, but that seems a bit overdone...
