Eraser Portable 5.8.8.1

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 :{

C:\PortableApps\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\47.0.2526.106\nacl64.exe: Win.Worm.Nimda-59 FOUND

For about a week now, whenever I try to update the clamwin definitions nothing is being updated. After a blank reinstall of ClamwinPortable I'm getting the message that the database mirrors are probably all out, and not even the main database is being downloaded. The program is constantly telling me that I should update my virus definitions. Is there something wrong at ClamAV's end?. There were rumours last week that the main database file was going to be renewed. Is this what causes all this?

The last update of my keepassPortable deleted my .kdbx database file which was stored directly inside KeePassPortable/ main folder. I realize that thats not the best location for that but still and update should not do that.
Of course I can't garantue that the update deleted the file but I was using it before and right after the update I restarted the app and the file was gone.

Hello!

Virustotal has found Trojan.Shelma.aaa and PE:Trojan.Ransom!1.690B [F] in Keepass.exe
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/bffff9cba180acd91638160171daa36f6befe...

Not sure if it's false positive or not.
Please let me know if someone has run into this issue.

As the subject says, I've been unable to download updated versions of Keepass as the anti-virus blocks it.

Is there something that can be done about this given that in my case, disabling the anti-virus is not an option?
