Portable Apps Suite

The portable apps suite contains a collection of portable freeware applications including a web browser, email client, web editor, office suite, word processor, calendar/scheduler, instant messaging client and FTP client. The suite itself comes in two flavours, standard (117 MB) and light edition (44 MB). The difference between the standard and light suite is that the standard suite includes open office while the light suite does not.

Running applications on a removable drive has some advantages. First, you can use the tools with your preferences on the road without installing / configuring them on a different computer and second you don´t leave that many traces on the other computer. You could further strengthen security by creating a secured container with true crypt on the usb drive. Check out the true crypt homepage for more information.
