PortableApps on USB drive deleted by Avast?
« on: November 28, 2013, 07:12:50 PM »
Is anyone else having problems with using the PortableApps operating system on a machine that is running Avast?

I plug my USB drive in, and the folder opens OK.  I start the Start.exe program and I get a Warning: Autorun Changed window which says"The PortableApps.com Platform has detected that the autorun configuration of this device has changed.  These changes may be caused by a virus or spyware infection or by another application modifying the autorun.inf file.  If you did not make these changes yourself, you should scan this device for viruses and spyware now."

Most of the programs have disappeared, with one replaced by [PAF Error - missing name]

This problem seems to have only happened since recent Avast program updates.

I can no longer find any way to prevent Avast Free from interfering with programs.
