List of portable software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of portable applications, software programs that do not require any kind of installation onto a computer, and can store data in the program's directory. This makes it ideal to be stored on removable storage such as a USB flash drive and used on multiple computers.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Internet

Web browsers

  • Keep in mind that some web browsers may cause problems while in archive since they tend to constantly backup their own history files, which need to be subsequently archived. Though this doesn't necessarily foretell that an issue is present, many users may find it irritating to be forced to constantly backup those files. In that case you have two choices; either take the browser out of archive entirely or change your preferences on that browser so certain temporary files are not stored.

  • Integrity Checker (site) checks the integrity of files to ensure they have not been tampered with. Files protected will have their "known good" size stored together with either a hash or HMAC generated from the contents of each file. By comparing this information with what is actually stored later, any changes will be flagged up for attention.
  • WinAudit ( site)- PC audit and inventory of software, licenses, security configuration, hardware, network settings...Text/html/csv/pdf/e-mail/database outputs available (can easily be 110+ pages of info!). Generally more detail than Belarc Advisor, but Belarc also good for more streamlined information.
  • System Information Windows ( site) - This standalone program performs computer configuration analysis and diagnostics. It gives detailed information about your computer properties and settings, detailed specs for CPU, motherboard, chipset, BIOS, CPU, PCI/AGP, USB and ISA/PnP devices, memory, monitor, video card, disk drives, CD/DVD devices, SCSI devices, S.M.A.R.T., ports, network cards, printers, operating system, installed programs and hotfixes, processes, services, serial numbers (CD keys), users, open files, system uptime, network, network shares, as well as real-time monitors for CPU, memory, page file usage and network traffic.
