Submitted by reem_151 on October 16, 2012 - 7:20am

Try to start my PA platform but it got stopped by Sophos. It reported that that it had a suspicious behavior, HIPS/RemFileMod-002 on the portbableappsplatform.exe, then it moved it to quarantine.I am using a computer at a different the library. The usual library I use has Mcafee any never has a problem. I use AVG free at home and it is fine. I have used this library before but a different computer and it was fine. I have the option in Sophos to authorize the file but not sure.

Delta updates?

Did the delta updates feature not work out?

Before the last update, app updates were a lot smaller, and I remember this feature being hyped up a little. Now after the 11.1 update, I see we're back to downloading the full app packages. Or maybe it's just me?

Feature improvement in the About | Apps

John, thanks for the list of apps found by PA. However, I'm still a bit shaky on how to determine if something found is a current legit app available by the app installer and those that were installed/copied there by me from some other source.

Is this list truly every app found under the /PortableApps/ folder? If so, could there be some way of indicating those apps that are being checked for updates and those that aren't?

Thanks!!

[Solved] PortableAppsPlatform.exe uses 100% of my CPU (version 1.11)

Hi,

I'm using the PAP in a network unit and since the update to 1.11 the PAP eats 100% of my CPU after launching. Note this did not happen before version 1.11.

Moving the whole PAP folder to the Desktop (or any not networked unit) would also solve this.

Is there any other workaround?

Thanks.

Version 11.1 - Disable Autorun

Submitted by grissey on October 8, 2012 - 4:14pm

I've just installed version 11.1 on my 'c' drive and 2 USB drives.
With autorun=true in the [Protection] section no warning message is displayed on launching PortableApps on my 'c' drive, as it should be.
But after setting autorun=false in the [Protection] section on both USB drives the warning message about autorun.inf is still being displayed.
