Known this site for a while now and thought that it might come in handy for you guys to keep and use. I use it on my USB all the time when I am at TAFE because some of the computers don't have the required software for my coruse. Like I use the portable Firefox and thunderbird. There are also a few utilites that you guys might like as portable software. :)

Hope you guys like it.

Also can come in handy for other things like if a computer does not have all the software on it you can run it all from your USB.

I know this website. I think is good. On my computer I test their portable Firefox beta. Because I have another version of Firefox: stable, Nightly UX and Waterfox and I don't want to install another versions of Firefox... Because when I run Firefox I must select the user profile.

I know another website with portable apps: http://www.winpenpack.com/en/news.php.

It is safe by WOT and McAfee Site Advisor but I don't know well this internet page.

I'm not sure. You could update it and see what happens. If you don't like it all you have to do is download it again. :)
