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 Smilie

TOR-RESOLVE(1)                                                      Tor Manual                                                      TOR-RESOLVE(1)

NAME

       tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor

SYNOPSIS

       tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]

DESCRIPTION

       tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP
       address.

       By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on SOCKS port 9050. If this isn't what you want, you should specify an
       explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -v
           Display verbose output.

       -x
           Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.

       -5
           Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)

       -4
           Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn't support reverse DNS.

SEE ALSO

       tor(1), torify(1).

       See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details.
