Never did care for TOR. Slow as hell and I never trusted the exit nodes. I use a logless VPN payed for with a gift card and the E-mail addy I provided was created with a free VPN. LOL!

This has been an issue with TOR for quite a few years. It wasn't that uncommon and was a really good reason to make sure any active language (Java, Silverlight etc) is off or removed from the computer entering TOR.

As for John Connor, congratulations for being less secure than even TOR. If you think a "logless VPN" is a) Logless b) secure then good luck

If installing the Windows version of the Tor Project be sure to download it from the proper site and verify the file signature. There is a malware site that could easily fool anyone into installing it especially if they don't verify the signature.

The real site is
https://www.torproject.org/

The fake malware site is
