Comment (by mcs): Replying to [comment:8 torment]: > I appreciate your comments. It would be great if you could give some advice or reference (blog, article?) as for the configurations that best suit a requirement for privacy and security for the common man who works and trades with leverage on the Net. For instance can I use some "software mix" that in the experience of the people in this community would be usefull and/or recommended considering commercial software like MS Windows? (for instance Win 10, Tor 6.5, and some security software that you already know is more reliable than Trusteer?) Or should I consider acquire more skills in the world of Open Source utilizing a mix like a Linux distribution, Tor x.x, something else to have a more secure, private use of web services and information? Your question does not have a simple answer. We do support running Tor Browser on Windows 10, but it is impossible for the Tor Browser development team to ensure that it works with the hundreds of anti-malware and other security software that is used on Windows. Everyone should definitely run the latest version of Tor Browser regardless of operating system because there are almost always security vulnerabilities that are fixed in each new release. That means that downgrading to Tor Browser 6.5.2 is not a good choice. Learning about and using an open source OS such as Linux is always a good option, but if you want to run Tor Browser on Windows you should start by avoiding Trusteer Rapport (which has a history of interfering with Tor Browser). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22615#comment:9> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
