TOR will not slow your computer down, but you will definitely see a drastic drop in internet speed as data is being routed within the TOR network, and uses one of the many (congested) public exit nodes to reach your destination.

I personally like the tor toolbar better than the button:
Code:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5833It is easier to use without having Vidalia and Privoxy running in the background. Although the button does allow more options to change ips.

If you want to install the firefox addon I mentioned in the last post then you don't need anything else. If you want the tor bundle that allows more options you can find it here:
Code:
http://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia-bundles/vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.31-0.1.9.exeThere is also a version that comes with a portable Firefox browser so you can use it separately from your regular browser:

The two are actually separate. If you want the simple version then just install the toolbar. If you want a few more options then try the tor bundle. Also with the portable version there is no installation just unzip and run.
be sure to edit the settings in the config files. Forget which exactly, but you need to change a couple things to ensure it is as anonymous as possible.
Also, just keep in mind it isn't anonymous no matter what you do. People scan tor nodes all the time and as nothing in encrypted there is no privacy.
Chained socks work better.
