    It sounds like a good idea. But according to TnTin's post seems like it failed, which is unfortunate. I wouldn't mind having one of those devices. I wish I could see one of these projects actually come to fruition at an affordable cost. I have used Tor in the past and its pretty cool, but also very slow.

    Very unlikely that It would reduce the amount of virus or email hacking. Like Steve said, you can still receive a virus through your email.

    Agreed, I don't think Tor helps protect you from viruses in any way. It just allows you to be anonymous on the net.

    I tried out Tor briefly a few years ago because I'm a secret terrorist on the run from the FBI but the speed drop was a killer for me. It's a shame because although I'm actually not a terrorist I'm still uncomfortable with the amount of data that gets collected about us. I just don't like the idea that I'm a product.
