What is a DemocraKey?
It’s software to protect your computer while you’re working on the internet.
It provides a layer of protection from viruses, a layer of protection from people trying to see what sites you’re visiting, and a layer of protection to stop hackers from viewing files you don’t want them to.
In a word, it does what computers already should do: Look out for your privacy and security.
A DemocraKey is a portable piece of software that works on any computer. Just walk up, plug in a DemocraKey, and you can be assured your files are much safer, your computer is better protected while browsing the web, and nobody will be able to tell which site you’re visiting.

Lifehacker: Download of the Day
Once you download and install the 150MB package onto your external drive, launch it using the StartPortableApps.exe file. A menu will appear with folder links to your portable documents, and the Thunderbird email client, ClamWin virus scanner and what the developer calls "the meat and potatoes of the DemocraKey":
A security enhanced version of the Mozilla 2.0 web browser, incorporating TOR seamlessly [that] lets you circumvent your school/employer's web blocker. It also allows you to surf anonymously, and doesn't leave a trace of the websites you visit.
There's also a slimmer DemocraKey Lite version 2.0 available that's in beta. Slated future improvements include document encryption, too.
