-<br />
-
-<p>After installing Tor, you need to configure your applications to use it.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The first step is to set up web browsing. Start by installing <a
-href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> (click on 'recent releases',
-then scroll down to the MS Windows installer packages). Privoxy is a filtering
-web proxy that integrates well with Tor. Once it's installed, it should
-appear in your system tray as a "P" in a circle, as pictured below:
-<!-- Exit from
-Privoxy for now by right clicking on the "P" icon and finding the exit option.-->
-</p>
-
-<img alt="privoxy icon in the system tray"
-src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-privoxy-icon.jpg" />
-
-<p>You need to configure Privoxy to use Tor.
-Open Privoxy's main config file by selecting it from Start Menu|All
-Programs:
-</p>
-
-<img border="1" alt="editing privoxy config"
-src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-privoxy-config.png" />
-
-<p>Add the line <br>
-<tt>forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .</tt><br>
-to Privoxy's config file. Don't forget to add the dot at the end.
-The easiest way is to select the above line and copy/paste it into
-the file. Be sure to save.
-</p>
-
-<img border="1" alt="privoxy points to tor"
-src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-privoxy-edit.png" />
-
-<p>Privoxy keeps a log file of everything passed through it.  In
-order to stop this you will need to comment out two lines by inserting a
-# before the line. The two lines are:<br>
-<tt>logfile privoxy.log</tt><br>
-and the line <br>
-<tt>jarfile jar.log</tt><br>
-Be sure to save.

-
-<p>You'll need to exit and restart Privoxy for the changes to take effect:
-</p>
-<ol>
-<li>Right click on the Privoxy systray icon and choose "Exit Privoxy".</li>
-<li>Left click on Start Menu then Programs then Privoxy.  Select the
-green "P" Privoxy icon.  Privoxy should appear in your system
