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.

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 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.
