Saying that something sucks without an explanation does not help a computer noob navigate proxy software. Please explain your assertion.

I agree that Tor is the best way to remain anonymous on the Net. However - it is very slow. If you're going to use it, only do so when you really need it. It is too slow for regular surfing when you are used to a high bandwidth connection. There is an extension for Firefox called Torbutton that allows you to switch Tor on and off with a single click.
