mrforgetful Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 My stick upsets sophos because of some of the applications on it That's not saying much, I just installed Sophos on a laptop running Vista and when I tried to run Windows Update Sophos moved msiexec to Quarantine! Then is moved something of Dell's. Turned off the feature, all I want is antivirus lol.

mac_shinobi Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 never knew you could get sophos as a portable app but i think they do have clamwin as a portable app. Not really had the need for portable apps , easily enough to make one before I go to help a friend so I have a memory stick that I can slap it on and I just take the default and make sure it has clamwin and some antispyware and firefox along with some other utils to reset the tcp ip stack n such like.

MkII Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Puppy Linux comes with a usb installer that's pretty nifty - you can customize grub to boot to other things too - also works well on usb hard drives - useful for ghost images Portable Apps menu with not much original stuff - all sysinternals tools plus anything biggish that's quicker to have on me that d/l across the n/w.
