    Tor.exe?


    O keep seeing a program running called tor.exe. then pctools told me it was trying to access the net and asked me whether or not to let it. When I looked for it it's located in c:\program files. When I pulled up the properties, absolutely nothing listed.
    Does anyone know if this is a windows program or if not, is it safe?

    Tor is an addon for Anonymous Web Browsing... What browser you using?

    As mentioned, TOR is for anonymous browsing:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)

    It is used in the programs Privoxy or Polipo, and other TOR enabled browsers such as OperaTor .

    Have you, or someone using the PC downloaded and used such a program?
