According to what i know:

Tor is a browser which gives you anonymity and VPN tunnels your network giving you anonymity.

Which in other words mean that if you use a VPN , your whole computer is protected.

Wrong, Using a VPN (And a Free one) doesn't mean you are Totally protected. Some VPN services log your status and then if any suspecion is detected they report it to the agency, Hence BAAM!

My bad.I meant 'a Good VPN'. But spotflux is free , or at least it was free.

No Problem, My point was that using just a VPN doesn't make you totally safe. BTW Spot flux is a good service but I hate them because they don't have support for Linux

TOR can be installed as a daemon that will allow you to route traffic through it, however you have to configure each program to do so making it a pain to set up but good for a last resort

TOR is decent depending on the circumstances. Otherwise if you're worried, fork out a few dollars a month for a decent VPN and be happy.

Well, if you have backtrack installed, you can use Proxychains to redirect all your internet traffic through the tor network or any other proxy list

Mmmm that is true because tor is routeing through many different nodes and not just one. so I guess when doing high risk tasks use tor but for day to day use VPN. Right?

If you run TOR, and you plan on doing a no-no, you need to KNOW what you're doing. TOR uses 1024 RSA/DH as of 2.3 and NSA can crack that. 2.4 beta has better encryption that they probably can't crack but I still wouldn't put your trust into tor since your data is being thrown around different ends. Not only that but NSA puts backdoors on a lot of these nodes.

Wrong about the VPN as the other guy stated, and also wrong... Tor isn't just a browser it works as a proxy so theoretically you can use it for pretty much anything. It's pretty secure besides the fact that NSA and FBI and the government uses it.
