Windows Defender on Windows 8.1 pro

From a background maintenance run, Windows Defender detected:

Trojan.Win32/Varpes.M!cl

PortableApps was not running at the time. Initial scan of .paf (with WD) did not alert. Scan of .paf (with WD) after the warning also showed no threat.

Questionable website loaded by Wise Disk Cleaner

Submitted by PortableGood on July 30, 2016 - 11:02pm

Just a "heads up"... the Wise Disk Cleaner app has a button on the main toolbar that, when pressed, loads up a site that seemed rather questionable. It was some sort of site in which the visitor would pay money to get answers to unrelated topics.

It seemed questionable, so I immediately uninstalled Wise Disk Cleaner... which was super easy due to the excellent Portable Apps Platform! (Thank you!)

Anyways, it's just a heads up. I didn't try the other "Wise" apps to see if they did the same sort of thing, but it wouldn't be a surprise if they did.

TeamViewer update overwrites teamviewer.ini

Submitted by chris78 on July 20, 2016 - 5:02pm

This is really annoying not to mention a security risk, considering it ignores all changes to security options that were previously done.
The nosave setting in the teamviewer.ini file has to be edited again to recover all your previous changes.
This happened the last 2 times I updated TeamViewer through the Platform.
