"JanusVM is a virtualized security environment that allows you to surf the internet absolutely securely and privately. It was designed to run on VMware Player (or Server) and brings together openVPN, Tor, Squid, Privoxy and dns-proxy-tor to give you a transparent layer of security that is compatible with most TCP based applications."

It integrates nicely into Gmail's interface and allows you to sign and encrypt not only email messages but also text snippets from any Web page."
