Software on a computer can't mitigate TEMPEST Monitoring.
TEMPEST Monitoring has a limited didtance from the equipement to be 
effective.

If you are that paranoid, place your equipemnt in a Faraday enclosure and 
place line filtering on all your AC sockets.

No software can also mitigate the "insider threat".

Do not look at Tor or any other software to mitigate physical security 
threats.
