Most Popular Pendrive and Portable Applications

Do you travel very often to client place and use different computers?
If yes, then make sure your USB drive is loaded with some common
tools that can make your life much easier. I have compiled a list of
50 portable tools that you can carry on your USB or flash drive.

1. Foxit PDF Reader – What if Acrobat Viewer is not installed on

customer’s PC. Always carry Foxit reader to read PDF files.

2. Pidgin – For multi-network chat pidgin is the best option. You

may also add the encryption plugin to keep it secure.

3. uTorrent – Always carry a torrent client in your flash drive. I find

uTorrent as the best peer-to-peer download client.

4. CCleaner – Sometime, when you visit at client place you are

handed over a computer that is not formatted and is cluttered with

5. Revo Uninstaller – It removes the unwanted application from the

computer. Revo is an alternative way to uninstall the applications or
