Now that's the answer I was hoping to get. Look somewhere else!

I have Ubuntu...and it's a little more complicated. What version of ubuntu are you using? Do this: Open the Terminal (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+T) Enter the command lsb_release -a Hit return and copy-paste the result here. If you are on 14.04, then you will do this: You need to add the following entry in /etc/apt/sources.list or a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/: deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org trusty main deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org trusty main Then add the gpg key used to sign the packages by running the following commands at your command prompt: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89 gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 \| sudo apt-key add - You can install it with the following commands: $ apt-get update $ apt-get install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring If you are not on 14.04, you will need to put something else in place of 'trusty'

You describe yourself as 'computer stupid'. If all of this is strange or unfamiliar to you, then you should be careful. Many people have perfectly legal reasons for valuing their privacy and using Tor. But in the unlikely event that you are planning to use Tor for illegal purposes, you may not have the tech skills to use it properly.

Virtual box is to put another operating system on your PC. Tor is to hide your IP address. Which are good to use on open Wifi's. Try hotspot shield. Tor doesn't track your IP address so it is harder to hack them and then track your IP back, but they are very limited on what you can do and make sites harder to get on, because all the trackers these sites use. Some can expose your current IP address and open you to being hacked. Now if you are talking about Tor as in torrents then Torrent pond may be able to direct you to a good torrent to use. Torrents, are for file sharing. I hope either one help and was what you where looking for.

I guess you are talking about tor browser it is for .onion sites and I have used it in past but now most of the sites don't open and visiting some of these sites, you still could be at risk. Especially the kiddy porn or pedo sites. But overall it is useless, most sites don't open.

People in the know this .they get everyone on this same boat and viola you dont have to look except for one area. you can do it the old fashioned way .. random IP address change. dam I did that all the time hum did ,and still do that , and can change my mac address at the same time .Yes its another platform. No its not mac . Mac is a underpowered overpriced pc with closed source linux period.
