Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:4 mo]:

 > The Tor Browser Bundle differs from your regular applications in that it
 is "portable". You can take the directory with you, for example on a USB
 stick. This means it does not write anything outside its own directories,
 and works even if people don't have administrative rights. In turn it will
 need write privileges to its own directories, something an application
 should not have (and does not have) for its Program Files directory.

 > In short, don't install Tor Browser to Program Files.

 We're talking about Tor, not TBB.
