Protect your privacy when you're surfing

Preserving your privacy on the net is no easy task nowadays with so many security risks and potential prowlers out there.

Safe browsing

Tor Browser is a toolset that's designed for anyone who wants to improve their safety and security on the Internet. It can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. For business users, it means that confidential exchanges of information can be kept from prying eyes and for more general users, it means that ISPs, keyloggers and other types of malware can't track your activities easily.

How does it work?

It works by bouncing traffic around a distributed network of servers which it calls "onion routers" (hence the logo). The Tor Browser interface allows you to easily toggle it on and off based on when you need to go online anonymously - there's no need to restart your computer when you've done so. If you want, you can also choose from various proxy tunnels based on a world map which displays exactly where each one is located.

To check it's working, you can use the online Tor detector to see if you're surfing anonymously or not. Connection can take some time depending on how many users are logged onto the network at any one time but usually its very quick. The Tor onion logo turns from yellow to green in your taskbar when a successful connection has been made.

Total anonymity

Tor is simple, well organized and effective tool for anyone worried about security or invasions of privacy online.

    • Installation takes you clearly step by step
    • Easy to use and lightweight
  • Cons

    • Can't guarantee anonymity
    • Connections may take a while sometimes

Can't uninstall. I cannot uninstall the browser. I tried to uninstall it, but it just wouldn't uninstall. So, now this browser that I can't use because it won't connect to the Tor network is stuck on my MacBook. Cons: Can't uninstall it.

Will not connect to the Tor network in China.. I downloaded this browser on recommendation from a prospective employer after I could not connect to their website. I live in China; so, sometimes websites are blocked - even ones that it seems shouldn't be blocked. The browser will not connect to the Tor network here in China.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.
