Firefox, TOR, Privoxy, and Vidalia in a portable EXE to obfuscate your browsing
I wrote about OperaTOR a while back as a portable option for simple TOR-enabled browsing on the go.
Maybe you'd prefer a single EXE that packages Firefox, TOR, Privoxy, and Vidalia? You're in luck - Paul O'Brien has combined those ingredients into a tasty privacy-enhancing stew.
He's created the package using Xenocode (and yes, it's a licensed copy) to help users avoid bothersome Internet roadblocks which prevent users in some countries from accessing websites that have been deemed inappropriate.
Unzip the archive, double-click the EXE to launch, and click the TOR button once Firefox has loaded. Your settings are saved into the sandbox subfolder on your launch drive so no data will be left behind on the host machine.
While the original version had some trouble with x64 Windows, Paul has already uploaded a new package that should work just fine for 64-bit users. It's available for download from his site and mirrored on RapidShare as well.

Mike - take a look at the TOR project site...Might clear some things up for you!
Or make it more confusing. :)

TOR, you asked?
It's a very slow secure private way of doing 'things' on the web that your mama and big brother won't know about. Maybe...

Though I suppose that depends on what kind of family you have...

This already exists and has been created by the Tor project itself, why should I or anyone else trust another source?
Take a look at:
Tor Browser Bundle for Windows
Installation Bundle for Windows
Zero installation. Great for USB drives!
Pre-configured with Firefox and more.
