PortableApps.com Platform

This follow a thread in the general discussion about safe usage of portable applications.

Since the autorun function is the cause of many infections, I was wondering why the PortableApps platform has one.

It is handy, I agree, but I rather trade ease of use for security. as mentioned on the other thread I use Panda USB vaccin to prevent autorun on external devices to launch. Still, I recently use portable applications and I am glad to have your opinion. Thanks.

Hi, I have read somewhere on this board about a - to be release soon - black theme for the PortableApps platform.

Any news? Thanks

I'm trying to install on on my flash drive thru xp pro and all I get is
H:\PortableApps.com_Suite_Light_1.5.2_en.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
Any help here would be hugely appriciated!

the menu does not resize to fit the app list anymore so i cannot even use the exit. I have a picture to send to anyone who can help me.

thank you

Weirdness, I go to log off from Vista and it brings up error reporting saying PAP requires adobe flash.

What is the status of categories? Seems this has been an ongoing request. Is it in 1.6, or if in 2.0, when is it going to come out?

Hello,
is there a way to control (especially launch apps) from the PA launcher?

Today I found myself in a rather unusual situation.. my mouse was borrowed by a college and since we don't have spare mouses I had to work for some time without a pointer device.

I was able to work without it with most programs, one of the exceptions was PAL - while I could open with Win+P, I was not able to select the App I wonted to launch, or launch any app from the menu.

Previously when I connected my memory stick to the USB socket on any PC, the Portable Apps Menu immediately appeared on the screen. Now Portable Apps doesn't start itself. Any suggestions please? - Mike

I have had problems with a few missing files, mainly the backup program and icons for the menu can you help?
