So, I saw a few posts on this subject, but would like to ask a few questions, and also asking for people's personal advice. I am a very paranoid person, and after reading a few of these threads realized how vulnerable I could be.
My security right now is just running Windows on a password protected account, using password protected router, using CCleaner before and after every Tor session. I read a few posts on using Ubuntu through a VM, which I would be ok with, but I am about to make a box that can run Ubuntu anyway.
I was wondering if I should just convert my second box ( which is an older box that I am planning on running Ubuntu on, just use it as a server for torrents ) to Ubuntu, then make it a proxy on my own network, if that is even possible. If not, I can hook up another box onto a different IP and use that as a proxy.
I don't look at any CP or anything, nor would I sell anything on SR. I have bought a few digital goods, which would probably be available on the surfaceweb, but whatever.
Just curious, am I already fucked? Any advice/tips for me?
EDIT: To get bitcoin, I use Dwolla > Mt Gox > dektop wallet > ( using Tor ) > SR account. Should I bounce this around more?

Is my post on a similar thread. Should be able to help you.
Also, look into full disk encryption with Truecrypt.
