Thanks a lot Corona688. I know that nowadays, and as far behind as I know there has never been such thing as perfect security. But what I mean is, how safe would it be to do banking over tor for example?
About vmware, what I think about these big companies is that they are not caring that much if they sell or not our personal info as long as someone pays well or give them any benefits. And I don't have why to believe they wouldn't capture such information just in case too, if they don't already have a reason.
And about Windows, yes, I know that if you don't want them to have your personal detail you just don't give them. Me for example, on the other hand, don't care for some of the information I have to be used through the Microsoft systems, as I use their email personally (but I have some emails and not all on their network, and not all with private info). But there are a lot of other things, simple things like searching for info online that I don't want them to have! But I don't trust IE for example at all.
Thanks again for your response

USEWITHTOR(1) General Commands Manual USEWITHTOR(1) NAME
usewithtor - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy. SYNOPSIS
usewithtor [application [application's arguments]] DESCRIPTION
usewithtor is a wrapper between the torsocks library and the application what you would like to run socksified. OPTIONS
[application [application's arguments]] run the application as specified with the environment (LD_PRELOAD) set such that torsocks(8) will transparently proxy SOCKS connec- tions in that program. USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORSOCKS
usewithtor runs torsocks(1) with the default configuration file, located at /etc/torsocks.conf. Running torsocks(1) directly means that no configuration file will be used (unless you manually set the TORSOCKS_CONF_FILE or TSOCKS_CONF_FILE environment variable), instead tor- socks(8) will use defaults that are sensible for most Tor installations. USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORIFY
usewithtor(1) and torify(1) intend to achieve the same ends for most practical purposes. However torify(1) will use a default tsocks installation if one exists. Usewithtor(1) will only ever use a torsocks(8) installation. SEE ALSO
