 Replying to [comment:2 jonny_11]:
 > Only TorBrowser can start tor.exe process on my OS. After shutting down
 TB, tor.exe is not shutting down. It's still running independent (not as
 child process of TB) and keep occupying memory after TB is closed. TB and
 tor.exe are added to my firewall whitelist. AV is MS Security Essentials
 with TB directory added as excluded from interfering. How can I do some
 testst to identify the problem?

 Hard to say. You could try a clean Windows system and see if you can
 reproduce the problem. If not then narrowing down the cause by looking at
 the differences between your and the other system. Or you could try to
 solicit help from e.g. folks on the tor-talk mailing list
 (https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk) or other
 support channels (https://www.torproject.org/about/contact.html.en). Good
 luck!
