Rapid CRC Unicode - Virus?

Submitted by NotMine on February 4, 2020 - 8:40pm

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.

Java use of registry seems anti-portable

Submitted by ajax on February 3, 2020 - 10:55am

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.

Java Portable Launcher not working

Submitted by chockalocka on December 28, 2019 - 7:40pm

Hi there,
I'm absolutely new to Portable Apps so please forgive for any unnecessary questions.
I'm trying to run Java JRE. When launching "JavaPortableLauncher.exe" I always get the following alert:

"jPortable Launcher (64-bit) cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: open could not be found)"

The same thing happens when I try to launch 32-Bit version of the "JavaPortableLauncher.exe".

Windows Folder Size Alarm

Submitted by wetabax on December 12, 2019 - 9:54am

Hi People,
does anybody know a program that monitors a specific folder, when it reaches more as a specific size (still configured before) it runs some alarm to alert me?

I hope my question is as good as it could be to understand. Sorry about any mistakes.

regards

7-zip portable & Zstandard

Submitted by peter43 on November 12, 2019 - 2:50pm

over at https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd a codec package is offered, expanding 7-zip functionality by adding zstandard:

You can install it in two ways:

complete setup with additions within the GUI and a modified Explorer context menu
only the codec plugin that goes to your existing 7-Zip installation (no GUI changes and no additional Hashers)

now i have been trying to get 7-zip portable running with the additional zstd.dlls, unfortunately without any luck so far.

(ERROR: jPortable [https://PortableApps.com/jPortable] could not be found.)"

jPortable, lacks an executable.
