I have confirmed with my AV vendor (Avira) that this was a false positive and the files are not malicious.

I'm getting a virus warning from AntiVir about portaputty\putty.exe. downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/portaputty/ The original putty.exe (non-portable) does not trigger this alert nor does the portaputty from socialist sushi http://socialistsushi.com/2005/11/17/portaputty The warning says it...

This is also a good place to mention that applications requiring the .NET, Java, or GTK+ runtimes are not acceptable. I agree with this statement for the most part, however I think it depends on the framework penetration. For instance, flash is not installed by default on most PCs yet is installed ...

This game/toy is so cool! If get your kids to play with this they'll be engineers for sure!

Saves files to relative sub directory.

I don't think there is a forum to read about this particular release but the original application is very good and I'm sure you can google it and find many resources with discussions. I wrote to the developer requesting a portable version and he was kind enough to oblige. We exchanged some emails an...

Thanks, Actually been using that one for some time now and as someone else pointed out it's also available on download.com along with the other tools from that dead site: http://www.download.com/PacketStuff-Network-Toolkit/3000-2085_4-10428838.html My question is why can't the new version use whatev...

I just tried the portableapps version of Wireshark and I don't really care for it. The problem with wireshark is that it requires Pcap which is a driver.
