Must Have Softwares on your USB Flash Drive

P

What softwares you carry on your pen drive?
lets post all we know of...

Shouldn't there be a sticky thread like this??

The best one i can find is "portableapps suite" which is availaible in 3 packs starting as low as 1 mb. The best part is it is completely free and regularly gets updated.
If you don't have the new U3 platform based USB flash drives, then you don't need to have the inferiority complex.

Well..There is Lupo Pensuite:*www.lupopensuite.com/

or u can use winPenpack:*www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Applications-suites/Windows-Portable-Applications-winPenPack-Flash-1Gb.shtml

i Use The former One.....Its more stable and effective....

These won't work on another PC because the registry keys need to be added as well.

k i will try to verify that issue.
Meantime, this one is a hot tip.
If u want security on ur pen drive, try folder lock. I use version 5.9.0. Works both with vista and xp. Can lock files in the pen drive only after exporting the prog. To the drive through an option in interface. However, it is not a freeware.

Yeah Folder Lock is a good program.

Calm Win Antivirus

ClamWin is not very good, but a good portable solution....

@beta testing
The antivirus nd spyware i posted above are working dude
they wont be integrated to the shell on the other pc but u can start the program, scan pc or pen drive nd update them. i.e. They serve the purpose of portability

firefox portable

I'd like to add HiJackThis to this list.

Thanks. Avira free is probably better than Avast. But will the antivirus have realtime scanning of the pen drive? If a virus tries to copy itself to the pen drive will Avira protect against that(assuming its definitions are updated) or is it useful only for on-demand scans of an infected comp/pen drive?

@prakash.gaurav- Ok.

@afonofa- No they won't have real time scanning.

A portable version of Spybot SnD is available through the portable apps suite.

@mad_max
surely u must be joking else u have never used folder lock then. It is "The Best" but of course it is a commercial programme.

Its the best known with not so best known security issues.And i specifically said when it comes to security

and just because something isn't free doesn't mean its good

Just because its small size doesnt mean its a pen drive...a pen drive AFAIK has a capacity of 10 GB after which it is no longer called a pen drive.
Is it a laptops HDD that fits in your pocket?
