@andrecool-68 said: How do I change this setting in the portable version? There is no such setting for portable. The normal portable (not the minimalist) comes with the nppPluginList.dll in the right place, so Plugins Admin should just work. If it does not, you probably left the Mark of the Web on either that DLL or on GUP.exe. I explained how to check (and clear) that in my post above. If that’s not it, but you’ve been using the same portable directory for a long time, and have just been extracting the new exe with each update, it may be that your GUP is old enough to not have the right security handoff with notepad++.exe any more: make sure you’ve extracted the most recent GUP and nppPluginList from the newest portable zip (and removed the Mark of the Web). (To do either of those last two paragraphs, Notepad++ must not be running.) If you need more help, create a new Topic, as the problem you are having does not appear to be a regression, and shouldn’t be part of this Announcement.

It seems that malicious ads (promoting a fake Notepad++ website) have returned on the Google search page. Below is the email I received this morning: Hi Don I am a long-time user and admirer of Notepad++. I am based in Australia. Today, I went to download a copy of Notepad++ to a new machine. When I searched for “Notepad++” in Google, the first link which came up appears to be a FAKE website located in China: https://www[.]notepadplus[.]com[.]cn/en/ I thought I should let you know, in case this is some kind of hacking attempt. Any follow up questions, just let me know. Kind regards If anyone here has encountered these malicious ads, please use the following link to report them to Google: https://support.google.com/ads/troubleshooter/4578507?visit_id=639056285883908601-3926234762&rd=1

@donho I created an account just to upvote, but I didn’t have the reputation. There is no information on how to gain reputation (that I could find). I was probably not going to do whatever was required anyway. It would have been nice to allow new users to allow to upvote useful posts, without jumping hoops.
