Portable Thunderbird Virus with AVG ver. 7.5.485 - 269.13.13

Submitted by markr64 on September 10, 2007 - 10:17am

Dear Loyal Mozilla Users

Today after updating AVG I got a Virus alert on my Thunderbird Portable stating this virus "Obfustat.NPD" was a Threat. I tried to Heal it but it still comes up. I tried to Move to Vault but it still comes up. putting 2 and 2 together - I figured out it is the "newadvsplash.dll" screen that come up when I launch the portable version. Personally I think this issue is AVG fault and needs to be corrected by them. But if Anyone as a clue on how to fix this issue - I would be happy to try it.

Autorun Portable apps suite

Submitted by brianpbrown on September 10, 2007 - 5:36am

I have been using Pstart for about 9 months and recently changed to the Portable Apps Suite and am having trouble with Autorun. It works on some computers but not all.
Sometimes I have to open Windows Explorer to open Portable Apps and on some of the computers I use at work, when I open Thunderbird, I do not get requester box to enter my password to receive/sent emails. All the computers I am using are running XP SP2. Some work OK, some don't. Can anyone explain and offer solution?

From Thunderbird to Portable Thunderbird

Submitted by cipherpunk on September 5, 2007 - 1:52pm

Hi all,

I'm using Thunderbird on my laptop, but now I'ld like to use the Portable Thunderbird version to use it from an USB disk, so I can use my client from every computer.

Could you please tell me how to trasfer all the e-mails, filters, attachment and so on from Thuderbird to Portable Thunderbird?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Pierluigi

running from a CD

Submitted by alaxa on September 1, 2007 - 11:13am

Sorry if it's already covered and my search was not very deep, but I need to understand if running from a CD (readonly file system) means that in any case the files are copied to a TEMP directory. If so, is there any way to run it from the CD for just reading the email? I think it's not useful to wait until 700MB of profile is copied into $TEMP.
am I wrong?

thanks,
a.

First the backstory: I have a 2.0Gb thumb drive that I have portableapps running on. I use ThunderbirdPortable to allow me to keep my personal mail in one app when at I'm at work and home. The work machine is a Windows XP SP2 machine, the home machine is a Windows Vista Home Premium machine.

The issue: For the longest time I had no problems, however of late (and I'm kicking myself as a former Systems Administrator for not making exact note of when it started), I get this oddity where the following typical scenario occurs:
