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.

When downloading 7-zip portable updates, anti-virus blocks it because it matches signature BehavesLike.Win32.Suspicious.xm

Submitted by eroussel on February 16, 2016 - 12:22pm

As the subject says, I've been unable to download updated versions of Keepass as the anti-virus blocks it.

Is there something that can be done about this given that in my case, disabling the anti-virus is not an option?

Hi,

AquaSnap complains every time it is started at PortableApps Platform startup to be not closed correctly and needs to be restarted.

I contacted the developer, which told me, that AquaSnap creates on WM_CLOSE to clean up and should not complain about being "dirty" at startup normally.

7-Zip: Unable to install 7zip in the PortableApps.com platform.

Submitted by Blessed_Healer on July 25, 2015 - 2:58am

When I select 7zip to be installed in the Portable App platform I receive the following error dialog:
"Download Error: File Not Found (404) on file"

Then the url is listed, which indeed is invalid. I'm not sure if the file was accidentally deleted, or what, but installing does not work for this useful program.

Thank you for your time in this matter,

BH
