SpeedyFox 2.0.17 hangs on Add Custome Profile

Submitted by Wm ... on November 6, 2016 - 1:39pm

I haven't needed to do this for a while so don't know if it is new to this release but SpeedyFox 2.0.17 hangs with a Not Responding message and after 7 minutes (got bored) needed to be closed out.

OS Win 8,1 file selectors from other Apps working as expected.

Recipe:

Start SpeedyFox (I'm doing it from the PA menu)
Add custom profile
Browse
after a second or two Not Responding and stays like that until X'd

This is repeatable here, can anyone else replicate this? Not a big deal for me as CCleaner does it all and more.

Windows Defender on Windows 8.1 pro

From a background maintenance run, Windows Defender detected:

Trojan.Win32/Varpes.M!cl

see:https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx...

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

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.
