Solved: Portable Programs

merlin82 · 03-21-2009

OK i just found out how useful my flash drive is (i havn't used it aside from getting files from a to b) and i wanted to know of any good portable programs there are. I'm looking for things from anti-virus/spyware, to a file password protector.

I already have CCleaner portable and Mozzila FireFox portable im just wondering if there are any good programs that are portable that would be useful to have! Thanks to who ever replys!

Go here, there are shiploads of them...

PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives

I have looked over the link (portableapps) and i have found a few programs that i liked there but i also want some other things like a anti-virus and anti spyware/malware scanners that are portable. so when i plug my flash drive in i can do a quick fix up of not only my computer but my friends if they ask for it and my parents computer too (both of them don't like to download programs...) So im looking for stuff like that.

For that I can recommend you ClamWin Portable.
ClamWin Portable | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives

Others may have more to suggest as well.

I always get my programs from The Portable Freeware Collection - Latest entries. They also have a forum where many people post apps that are semi-portable. Their database is huge too. If your request isn't there, it most likelly doesn't exist.

OK thanks Chiaz as you helped me before i will trust you again!

Also does anyone know of a file locker/vault/password protector. Like if i run it and put a file into it, i can password protect the whole thing? Because i really want something like that so i can transport my documents and stuff.

Also thanks to LPchip i will check it out.
