and billions of computers use microsoft word! whats your point!?
if they are going to hide any spying software, it will probly be deeply embedded in a large system, such as with in the OS itself. it would be a lot easier to hide, and a lot harder to find.
That is true,but very hard to proof,we are the sheep and they are the wolfs!

Anti virus software has been taken over by big business and government. Your antivirus software should be renamed anti piracy software. They only catch a virus if they are lucky anymore.
My question is,if they do this on a large scale,and how can be detected!

Its actually very easily to be done I've done a bit of computer security and even Amateur hackers without a lot skills can make a FUD Viruses (fully undetectable) which means you can open a virus but your virus scanning won't detected it so if a not very skilled hacker can do that, then what can hackers that work for the government do ?

Every computer has an antivirus program.He could be the spy in your computer.
You cannot even notice that.Maybe I am wrong.Maybe I am not.
They get any information they want.It's much easier to spy with an antivirus program.Who will notice.
You download something from the internet ,and you don't know, that you have a spy into your house.
From time to time maybe he transmit some data,to a remote computer and you never notice that.Or key words.
Like,plains,terrorist,different countries name..and so on.
So,I ask you:
Is there a spy in your computer?

1) Speculation #1: Microsoft is in bed with the gvt..so they could simply activate some hidden feature within Windows
2) Google or Yahoo could install something on your PC
3) We are already getting spied...how do you think Amazon, Google etc. always knows exactly what you are interested in?
That said, the software you need to be worried about is the stuff pre-bundled with your HP or Dell.
