Liberte is extremely easy to download and run from a USB stick so you might want to consider using it. Any questions, please feel free to ask!

If you are in the US you can get a moneypak and find a vendor here that will trade them out for you.
BTCMaser is the best one IMO.

You should also consider using GPG.  There are some good threads here on it, one of which is stickied to the top of the Security section.
