Carry a bundle of essential software in your flash drive
When you are on move and carrying important data in your flash drive, then you should have the portable version of essential software like Anti-Virus, Office, Password Manager, Browser, PDF reader with you.
PortableApps is a free bundle application which will help you in managing the portable version of software in a flash drive. Once you install the “Portable Apps” (size ~ 35MB for light bundle ) in your flash drive, a pop-up will appear which will show you the list of portable software which you are carrying the flash drive. I installed the Light application of PortableApps which is having
Mozilla Firefox (browser),
Thunderbird (email),
Sunbird (calendar / task),
Clamwin (Anti-Virus),
KeePass (Password manager)
Sumatra PDF (PDF Reader)
Sudoku (Game)
Cool Player (Audio Player)
AbiWord (Word Processor)
Mines Perfect (Game)
Pidgin (Instant Messaging)
Open Office.org (If you go for the standard download, you will get this in your flash drive otherwise you will have to install this platform separately)
You can install any other portable software in your flash drive using PortableApps. It will automatically add that software in the PortableApps menu.
