Running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware from flash drive

Can I install those apps onto a flash drive and run them on various systems without effecting those systems? I did a cursory search and couldn't find anything explicit.

I couldn't find anything on the forums. Do any of the many people on here that use them know if I can run them from a flash drive?

Thanks, Tech4me,

That's what I needed to know. I'll give you some points if there's not much more activity on this thread.

That would be a great idea if we could run those two great programs from a flash drive.

But, I actually agree with SpiritWind, it wouldn't hurt to go directly to their forums and ask the question there. You might be surprised at the answers you receive.

That might be good, but I don't like joining forums willy nilly for just one question. That's part of why I joined PCWorld; I thought the members would be able to help with most things.
