Regarding the term "Portable application", you may review the following info:
A portable application does not leave its files or settings on the host computer or modify the existing system and its configuration. The application does not write to the Windows registry or store its configuration files (such as an INI file) in the user's profile; instead, it stores its configuration files in the portable directory. Another requirement, since file paths will often differ on changing computers due to variation in Windows drive letter assignments, is the need for applications to store them in a relative format. While some applications have options to support this behavior, many programs are not designed to do this. A common technique for such programs is the use of a launcher program to copy necessary settings and files to the host computer when the application starts and move them back to the application's directory when it closes. -- WikiPedia.org
Psiphon for Windows does not get installed, and won't appear in Windows’ “Add or Remove Programs” (aka, "Uninstall or change a program") list. ... If you want to remove the program, you can simply delete the executable file.
