Apps To Go — Lots Of Them
App-Stick.com is an impressive directory of hundreds of portable applications that can be executed directly from a USB drive. The security section alone offers a treasure trove of invaluable apps for when you’re called on to perform tech support for friends and family. Offerings include Spybot Search And Destroy (spyware), Avast and ClamWin (antivirus), password managers, secure deletion tools, and encryption software.
Note that many of the apps in the directory must be installed locally, but the program folder can then be copied to a usb drive and executed from any computer without worrying about registry entries and such.
See also: PortableApps.com for a less diverse but high-quality selection of portable apps.
