55 free and almost free portable apps for your USB Swiss Army Knife

It's a list chock full of goodies like SmartSniff, AngryIPScanner, and a tiny little IM application called Easy Message.
You won't need everything on the list -- there are quite a few duplications of functionality -- but if you've always wanted to build the ultimate geek toolbox on a stick, it's a pretty good resource from which to get ideas.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts.

AVG anti-spy/virus did not complain about the downloads. Usually SnapFiles is pretty good about making sure they don't give you bad stuff!

I have one and they're awesome, a program I always keep on it is the PC De-Crapifier, good for clearing Dell PCs of all the bloated software!

Although I haven't used "KeePass Password Safe", I have been using "Password Safe" (by Counterpane Systems) for years and recommend it. Note that the later is open source.
