General comments about my recent experience:
1. WOW!!! This thing is unbelievable!!!
2. The initial loading/install window indicates that the process may take up to 15 minutes;
a. it should note that it may take that long before the status bar begins to move/display!
b. what the heck is it doing that takes so long!!!! Holy cow!!
3. The version of Firefox in the suite is not current.
4. The version of Clamwin in the suite is not current.
Majorly impressed with this product. I've used an older version of Portable Firefox for some time but this concept has really developed. Congratulations, nice job!!

1. Yes! We all know the feeling and agree totally.
2a/b It depends on your USB drive how long it takes.
3. You can update to the latest version of firefox here
4. Same for ClamWin here
The Suite still has the older versions, just update manually.

The slowness is due to the fact that it's a 7-Zip self-extractor and it doesn't do the best job of updating its progress bar. The Suite is moving to an NSIS-based installer in the next release so the install process will be better.
You can easily upgrade ClamWin and Firefox. Look for the details on upgrading on their pages. The easiest way is to download the installers and, in the PortableApps Menu, select Options - Install a New App and select each installer. It'll upgrade your existing installations of each app without altering any of your data.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks guys.
I did update the two apps, maybe not as direct as designed but I got it done.
Maybe a folder named Updates or Downloads or both would be a good idea.
Do you have any control over the 7-Zip's title? I was very tempted to cancel the install thinking that nothing was happening for a LONG time before the taskbar moved. Seeing nothing happening after you initiate something is not well received by most users.
Have you ever considered adding a weather app, like Weather Watcher?
