    I did not see any USB symbol there. The ZIP link has been there for a long time.

    This would be nice if portable. Why's the zip file larger than the installer version? Does the zip file include sigs?

    A screenshot would be fine. :D

    I can't see any USB or grey icons at all. Plus the ZIP has been available for a long time and I think it's the installer EXE inside a ZIP, not a portable ZIP.

    i give it a try later - since avira 10 it cannot be installed into sandboxie for testing purpose.

    # its the setup zipped - no more.

    I thought so too, but J.L. is right, it's the program files. I can't try it though since i'm not in front of my pc for a couple of days now.
    You 're right about the usb icon, i can not see it either

    I usually bring Avira Potable if I'm going to draw from the local water in a third world country... can't be too careful.

    @blacknight: Yes.

    @Doraemon: Nevermind, it's a userscript I have.

    I've already said it isn't, download and see for yourself.

    @Brummelchen: I'll try in VirtualBox then.

    No such thing, what did you download?

    Edit:
    I just tested it, but it requires msvcr100.dll files on my virtual machine.

    @J_L - the SFX (or ZIP) is just another installer - i cant get the guard nor the config or gui working in sandboxie. either the struktur is same like the normal setup.
