Firewall Portable

Submitted by Ordinary12 on November 20, 2006 - 11:47am

Hey:

I'm looking for a firewall program that actually works while I'm surfing on other peoples computers. I come across a lot of unsecured rigs that are full of viruses and people hacking them all the time. The firewall that comes with windows is okay but a determined hacker will just march right through it. I'd like to have a way to atleast protect myself from outside attacks while I'm on there. Maybe you could even give an option to leave a copy on the computer I am currently using.

An App To Close All Open Apps

Submitted by crazypigeon on November 17, 2006 - 6:14pm

Well, I've been spoiled by the U3 drives, but the bloated autoplay was driving me nuts. Now I'm using pstart, on a generic flash drive - much happier, and on the drive it is way easier to install your own progs on. One of the features that I miss the most though, is that in the U3 menu, it had an option to eject the disk, what it would do, is close all apps that you had opened from U3 and then eject the disk, I've yet to find that, and I think that it would be a welcome addition by a lot of people. Also, the feature to eject the disk isn't nessicary, but its annoying to, when you want to eject

I would like to suggest the packaging of Scilab. It´s a high quality open source project meant to produce a software like Matlab and Simulink.

Project : http://www.scilab.org

I would appreciate to see it portable.

Tanks a lot.

Portable Notepad++

Submitted by Troll86 on November 16, 2006 - 5:43am

Notepad++ is an excellent text editor, with source highlighting for a lot of languages. Important for me is C++, PHP and Html. So everybody can try it:
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net
There are also the source code.
I'm not a good programmer, cause I'm a student. So I cant do it by myself.
If somebody make it a Portable App, plz insert copilers for the different languages,
so that App becomes a perfect programming tool for me, my classmades and others.
