As zenthor mentioned above, https://check.torproject.org should tell you if you're using the latest update or not. You may have to delete the previous version of Tor if you simply extracted the updated version to the previously existing folder. To do this, make sure you backup any bookmarks you have as they will be deleted: Bookmark button -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Backup... Go to torproject.org and download the latest version of Tor. Securely delete the previous Tor folder. Double click the new Tor download and extract it to a folder of your choice. Start it up once that's all finished and then restore your bookmarks. Bookmark button -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore -> Choose File... That will resolve the problem (if there's a problem in the first place!) Libertas
