I agree with Fred Bone's comments about the portable version. You might be clicking on some ad-driven thing or maybe going far afield.

I think you are not getting to the right website to download portable Gnucash. There is one site on SourceForge "brought to you by Rayven01 that seems pretty HINKY. It promotes a very old version of GNC, has no reviews and no recent downloads. No way to know if this is where you are getting your spammy dating site or monthly charges "offers" or not but you surely have a problem somewhere along the line. If this is the SF site you are on I would WALK AWAY!

It could be possible that you have a browser or host file problem perhaps that is redirecting you somewhere bad?

re: Portable Apps -- on SF you can dl the actual PortableApps platform which provides a launcher for lots of apps under the PortableApps umbrella. I don't use it.

What I do use is the latest portable version is GnuCashPortable_4.13.paf.exe which can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/ and then navigate to the Files tab then click gnucash portable (dated 2022-12-24) click then navigate down the page to the PAF file you want.

As an option to using portable versions one can use Revo Uninstaller which will uninstall a standard install of Gnucash reliably. Or I use Revo Uninstaller Pro (paid) which will track an install and allow a very thorough uninstall.

It sounds great, but color me skeptical.  I have looked at portableapps
twice now and declined. The fine print says you'll be given a "free"
two-day membership to what sounds like a dating site. After that you'll be
hit with a bill for almost $40 monthly. At my age it's easy to forget given
such a short time to try it out "free."

I didn't see a way to decline. Frankly, I would be fine with a more modest
amount per month, with no long-term contract.
