filezilla.exe infected with a Trojan.Agent!?!?

Submitted by truthseeker on April 30, 2010 - 8:55pm

I installed the latest version of malwarebytes anti-malware and updated the definitions.

It then ran it and it found a "Trojan.Agent" in:

PortableApps\FileZillaPortable\App\filezilla\filezilla.exe

Any possibility this is a legitimate infection?

Can someone else run malwarebytes anti-malware and tell me if their portablapps filezilla.exe is infected too?

Cheers.

I recently installed pidgin portable 2.6.6 upgrading 2.6.4
since then, every chat I run with my friends doesn't create a log, and no older log (i.e. the one from the previous release) can be found.

Did I trickly set some strange preference? I had already check if the log is abilitated ... and it is....

Google Chrome as System Default Browser

Submitted by icebird on March 22, 2010 - 9:30am

Hello,

I have set Portable Google Chrome as my system default browser. This works great for clicking links in other non-browser applications, however the issue I am seeing is: Chrome comes up from an external click in a new window without any extensions, settings, or browser history from the normal portable setup.

I believe what is happening is Windows sends the URLs to the main chrome.exe instead of GoogleChromePortable.exe and so it doesn't look in the portable location for my user profile & settings.

PuTTY: Registry blocked

Submitted by nathanernest on March 17, 2010 - 8:47pm

Hi all, My putty portable is still saving sessions in the computer registry and therefore is getting blocked when I launch putty from my USB stick (because regedit is blocked by the university).

How can I make putty store the information in a way that I don't need regedit to retrieve it?

Cheers all!

[Fixed] PidginPortable.exe contains virus Generic.dx!oxp? I doubt it.

Submitted by eleavings on March 9, 2010 - 1:56pm

So a McAfee virus signature update I just received has caused McAfee to automaitcally delete the file PidginPortable.exe if I try and start Pidgin. It deletes it even if I just browser the directory.

This McAffee page ( http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_260131.htm ) shows the virus it is supposedly finding.

This seems like a false positive to me.

I have no way to stop McAfee as this is on a work laptop and we are locked out from making exceptions in McAfee.

Anyone have any ideas?

Pidgin: Can't disable splash screen

Submitted by shiki on March 6, 2010 - 2:40am

I tried searching around, checked the "Source", and copying the INI files everywhere where it makes sense. Sadly, no use at all.

As far as I know I have a "DisableSplashScreen=true" option in the *.ini file. If the Data/settings/*.INI fails, I should just copy it to the .exe launcher. Rite'?

What else could I do? App just comes up instantly, and I have to click all the splash screens. REALLY annoying.
