Security Apps Support

I've started closely monitoring memory usage on my system recently using Process Explorer and today I noticed that KeePassPortable1.10 was using ~35M of memory. After restarting it a couple of times, it's clear that's the standard. That seemed exorbitant since the KPP directory is only 1.3M on my disk.

So I went over to the KP site and downloaded their Portable version of KP1.10. Low & behold, this version uses less than 4M running with the same database & ini file.

Any idea why KPP is grabbing up so much memory?

Thanks,
Tobias

I love Portable apps and the clamwin AV portable. However it seems to be outdated frequently. Is it scheduled to be updated to the current ClamWin AV version soon? see below:

Travelling and using Firefox portable, my USB drive picked up a virus
from an Internet cafe.(which made installed apps unuseable I reformatted and reinstalled but it happend again.

(Now at least I know where I got it!)

I thought I would use ClamWin-AntiVirus from "portableApps" but believe this would involve me scanning the host computer which is a bit time consuming. So is there a practical, - time wise - solution to protect USB drives from infected PC's.

I downloaded "Drive Sentry" which I don't really understand and also is not free.
Thanks

My AVG-Free reports this in the current download.

Hi

This may be a false positive but I thought I had better share this result from AVG pro today:

"Trojan horse Downloader.Zlob.UAQ","C:\ClamWinPortable\ClamWinPortable.exe","2/9/2008 9:37:00 AM","ClamWinPortable.exe"

Sorry' I have not got the time or energy to pursue this but thought the community would want to know.

regards

Learning about portable apps gave me a fresher perspective in using my hard drive. Upon first installing all apps that came with the suite, I made use of all the apps and everything was normal.

Learning about portable apps gave me a fresher perspective in using my hard drive. Upon first installing all apps that came with the suite, I made use of all the apps and everything was normal.

Offers to update virus database then this error message comes up:

Could not start process:
".\freshclam.exe" --stdout --datadir="..\..\..\Data\db" --config-file="c:\docume~1\staff\locals~1\temp\tmpif-o93" --log="c:\docume~1\staff\locals~1\temp\tmpz3s53o"
Error: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

The latest data bases of ClamAntiVirus [The dats used by ClamWin and therefore ClamWinPortable] have a Probable False Positive for Ad-Aware.

For those who don't know Ad-Aware is the grand daddy of antiAdware/Spyware programs and many people have it on their machine. I have had the same .exe on my machine for over a year. While it is possible that the .exe could have been infected in the past 2 days it is unlikely. The rest of the system reports clean from CWP and my other malware checkers.

I reported it to the ClamAv team last night.

I can't swear to this but I'm 80% sure I've lost my preferences.
I "usually" set CWP to not scan certain file types.
I'm pretty sure I did it last time with a Clean install.
This time I installed in place [over existing CWP]
All preferences are gone.

Is this to be expected?
Not a biggie, but I thought I'd mention it.

{edit: never mind. Support page does not recommend over writing existing install so I guess it's not supported
