ClamWinPortable support page update

Submitted by netgk5815 on December 5, 2008 - 3:07pm

The currently served ClamWinPortable support page seems to have an outdated version history. The download page lists the current version as 0.94.1 Rev. 2, but the version history on the ClamWinPortable support page indicates the last revision was version 0.90.2, not 0.94.1 Rev. 2. Any chance the page could be updated?

I don't know what has changed since version 0.93 [what I am currently running].

KeePass: What's the point?

Submitted by avastmeharty on November 29, 2008 - 12:26am

I was looking at this thread earlier: https://portableapps.com/node/10587

And I began wondering what the point of KeePass was. Why not just encrypt the entire drive?

Because if the drive itself is encrypted (as all portable drives should ideally be), there would be no way to access KeePass anyway, making the additional password redundant.

Thoughts?

KeePass: Beating keyloggers

Submitted by jaffcat on October 23, 2008 - 3:46pm

Hi Guys,
I have been reading the forums for a while and know that it's best not to type information into insecure PC's. HOWEVER, I am planning to travel early next year and need to work out the best/safest way to access a bank account to check funds and transfer money. Keepass 2 looked to be the answer, but needs .NET to work, which I cannot be sure will be installed. So how can I make myself as safe as possible to beat keyloggers etc.

Any help please.....I need to find the safest solution possible. Not using public PC's is not an answer.

Cheers, and thanks.

ClamWin: ClamAV main.cvd Update [FYI]

Just a note:
The main.cvd for ClamAV/Win/portable is updating from

48 to 49

If you have high speed access the most efficient way to do the update is to directly download the file from here:

http://www.clamav.org/download/cvd
after deleting your current main.cvd

If you allow it to update itself you will get a
39 MB main.cld instead of a nice compact 18 MB main.cvd

don't forget to delete your current daily.cld also if you use this method, the new daily.cvd is only 319kb

KeePass: Whats the difference between the portable version and the original version?

Submitted by tacodude on September 24, 2008 - 4:30pm

I just read this on the website of KeePass, and it seems the app already is a portable one.

So whats the difference between the one at the original website and this one? Smile

# KeePass is portable: it can be carried on an USB stick and runs on Windows systems without being installed.
# Installer packages are available, too, for the ones who like to have shortcuts in their Windows start menu and on the desktop.
