Security Apps Support

When installing Spybot - Search and Destroy V2.5 Portable (which I downloaded from here) I get the following error:

Error opening file for writing:

D:\PortableApps\SpybotPortable\App\Spybot\DWWADTPP.scr

Click abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip the file

I have tried and gotten this error on two separate systems with two separate USB keys.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix or workaround?

Thanks,

Lowell

This particular error happened while updating McAfee Stinger, which makes me particularly suspicious.

Can anyone tell me what this error means exactly. I know what the definition of redirection is but, is this just a badly named error for something else, or is it possible that someone is trying to inject a payload into the exe file during an update?

I've also seen this same error while trying to install a database viewer app a month ago.

I upgraded to version 1.40 using the automatic update feature of PortableApps. I don't use it every day, so it was a couple of days before I discovered this trouble.

When I open Password Safe Portable, it used to show me the last safe it opened, and I just had to type in my key to unlock the safe.

Hi,

It seems like VeraCrypt of PortableApps does not "Mount selected volume upon logon".
However the portable version of VeraCrypt does this without problem if this options is set.
So something seems to be wrong with the PortableApps version of VeraCrypt.
If would appreciate if this could be fixed.

I found out that NSISPortableANSI 2.5.1 loads a DLL (SHFOLDER) without supplying the absolute path, thus vulnerable to DLL Hijack. It may be possible for an attacker to place an arbitrary DLL in specific paths in order to execute malicious code in the context of the loading process.
I found this while analyzing wireshark portable and skype portable, the issue might affects other portable apps.

Hello,

I can't seem to be able to automatically download virus updates (from withing the program) since version 0.99. Same thing with the latest version 0.99.1. No problems with with 0.98.7. I can also download manually the DB's and add them to the folder and the program recognizes them OK. Any ideas what might have changed in v .99 compared to v .98.7 that could be affecting the updating process?

Hi

I recently ran ClamWin on a friend's win7 computer and it found a Worn in Chrome Portable. This application was never used, so I assume there is either a bug in the detection of ClamWin or the application came with the worm out-of-the-box :{
