I reported the "false positive" to the Vipre people and gave them the download link to obtain it directly.

Vipre is reporting "Trojan.GenericKD.33560416" <<-- Vipre considers that a malware indication.

Usually Portable Apps stuff does not trigger any AV warnings for me.

I just downloaded SpeedyFox 2.0.28.

It didn't find Firefox, Thunderbird, Chrome. But they are on E:

When I tried to create a custom profile by choosing a portable app's home folder, it could find nothing.

I have the apps installed without the portable apps manager.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but does anyone know what the difference is between WinMergePortable and the archive version of WinMerge aside from the version number?

I've tried setting up a remote desktop connection myself and the program always fails to connect. I don't know what I am doing wrong and I can't find any guides or tutorials for this program. Is there anyone else here who uses this program, if so, where can I go to get help with this program?

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

The exact same thing is also happening for Defraggler:
dfgPortable also is hanging during installation at "Create folder: I:\PortableApps\specPortable\App\Defraggler"

In both cases, they are new installations, as opposed to updates.

Several people here are using Controlpadportable on their pc. I would like to put the file Commands.ini (containing the list of codes and corresponding actions) on one central location, so that I can easily update it for everybody at once. I guess this can be done by modifying everybody's Controlpadportable.ini file, but I don't know how to do that exactly. Can someone help out ? Thanks !

Not that it should really affect anything, but the JavaPortable.ini inside the jPortable64 installer for version 231 is still the same as version 223.

[JavaPortable]

Version=1.8.0_223

should be

Vipre Anti-Virus software is blocking the latest version (0.3.31) of Rapid CRC Unicode Portable during installation.

The Portable Apps Updater claims to have successfully installed the updated version, but Vipre has blocked the installation.

The Vipre log says, "Virus.GenericKD.33029228" with a "Threat Level" of "Extremely High".

Vipre's explanation of "Virus.GenericKD.33029228" is incredibly generic.

The file cited by Vipre as being quarantined is the downloaded PAF file.

I have the Portable Apps versions of OpenJDKJRE installed. Would like to use them for running another app, which is NOT distributed by portableapps.com, in portable fashion. Experience to date is a bit limited but it seems to working as expected but with one serious problem. Apparently Java is using the Windows registry to store persistent data. While I suspect that this is something the application developer could/should avoid it is NOT a problem peculiar to Java.
