Usually, every webcams come with their own webcam software, no ?
Otherwise, ManyCam (webcam virtualisation software) is free.

Let's see ...

5.Maintenace Software: Glary Utilities or n7
6.Uninstaller: Revo Uninstaller Portable (if you don't even want to install it)
7.Defrag software: Windows in-built disk defrag utility ? ...
10.Backup Software: Windows in-built backup utility ? ...
18.Driver updating tool: NONE. Only piece of "shitwares". Update your drivers manually. More efficient and way more safe
19.Malware scanner: Malwarebytes, ESET Online Scanner, Spybot Search and Destroy, SUPERAntiSpyware, ... ?
25.PDF Reader: Foxit Reader. Very safe alternative to Adobe Reader and also very secure ... Also, Adobe Reader is already free. Adobe Acrobat is the PDF Creator and Editor of Adobe, Adobe Reader is simply the PDF Reader so there's a wrong information here.
28.Screenshot tool: ShareX (the best, hand down. Open-source too)
29.Data recovery: GetDataBackNTFS. Made from the PAID version of GetDataBackNTFS, you get it portable and for free.

29.Data recovery: GetDataBackNTFS. Made from the PAID version of GetDataBackNTFS, you get it portable and for free.

29. Data Recovery: I don't think GetDataBackNTFS is free, because it allows you to perform the data recovery and to see and verify your recovered files without having the possibility to save. So it doesn't qualify.

10. Backup softwares like AOMEI let's you do a lot more different tasks, like automatic, incremental and differential backups, entire hard disks, specified partitions, file/folders, create system images, and schedule backups.

7. Piriform Defraggler let's you defrag custom files/folders with an interactive drive map with quick and deep defrag, defrag free space while optimizing the drives, a health bar and such.

Read again. GetDataBackNTFS Portable is made from the paid version so it's like if you were using the paid version for free.
All of this can be done via Windows Tasks Scheduler and Windows Backup and Recovery, you just have to know how.

Thanks, it seems that it works only in IE.

You can download it and install it on your system from any other browsers.

Download and install? Every operation is being carried out inside the browser , then how does it installs?

Windows backup and recovery is just bare essentials..it doesn't let yo do incremental, differential backups well..

Features and Backup of AOMEI: http://www.backup-utility.com/windows-8/incremental-backup-windows-8.html

Please link to the portable version you're talking about (GetDataBackNTFS), which is free.

You forgot:
Emsisoft Antimalware - 360 Internet Security
(don't stuck on the ''internet security'', both are the same to what they offer)

It installs locally on your system. Download and use it, then go in your installed programs list and you'll see by yourself.

.
Currently trying and running its scan, searched my pc for the application. Seems like no installation is there, but scan is running though. I guess it takes place only in browsers, and it requires JAVA to run.

When you run it from Internet Explorer, it requires no installation.
If you download it from any other browser, then yes it makes you download and install it.
