Changing proxy will not stop this.
Tor will, because it intercepts (and redirects via it's own P2P type network) your communications before they leave your computer. But, you run the risk of some of the less than legal types who run Tor (I am not casting apersions on all Tor users, I know some people use it for legit reasons, but the fact it hides you will attract hackers) getting access to your data.
Edit: Just checked: Anonymizer.com is an anonymous proxy service, so, therefore, will not protect you from this.

assuming VM/Phorm (if plans go ahead and how its done), log traffic on outgoing port 80, then if anonymizer doesnt use port 80 (which is likely to be the case) then it wont be logged and will be fine. tbh i'd use things like anonymizer over tor any day, not only for the speed but for the "safety"
