<h3>What Is It?</h3>
<p>Tor VM is a transparent Tor proxy for Windows that uses Qemu full
virtualization technology for more resilient Tor clients and relays.
</p>
<p><strong>The initial 0.0.1 release is an unstable test build!</strong>
See the 
<a href="http://bugs.noreply.org/flyspray/index.php?tasks=all&project=4&cat=19">
bug tracking database for known issues</a>. Remember to backup anything
important before using this software on your system.</p>

<h3><a class="anchor" href="#Setup">Configure Windows For Less Risk</a></h3>

<p>Running Firefox with Torbutton as a reduced privilege user provides
defense in depth against various risks Internet users face. These steps
explain how to create a restricted account for user name "anon".</p>

<p>Navigate to the control panel "User Accounts" option.</p>

<p>Select "Create a new account".</p>

<p>Provide a nickname for the anonymous limited user account.</p>

<p>Choose the "Limited" account type for the reduced privilege user feature.</p>

<p>Select "Create Account".</p>

<p>The new user is added to the list of accounts on the local system. This is
the account that Internet applications like Firefox will run as when using
Tor VM to route traffic through the Tor network.
</p>

<p>The Switch User feature is used to run critical Tor VM software as Admin
while Firefox and other Internet applications run with restricted rights.</p>

<p>The new limited user desktop has its own configuration and environment.</p>
