This does don’t surprise me.
Basically when you go on line with your computer can become part of a cluster dataset.
Everything you do on a computer can be tracked.
In the past the FEDS programs were Magic Lantern and Carnivore.
I can assure you that these programs are obsolete and Childs play compared to what is available or possible now.
With BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) networking the minute that you plug your machine in you could be “networked”
It will not show up as a virus because it is legitimate “networking” built into the Operation System. Logs and such can be filtered so the user won’t have any idea.
The best method for detection are tools called a “Rootkit”

Remember how Microsoft settled with the Government back in 1999?
I think MS cut a deal to give Big Brother a back door in. I think that this was the primary reason the feds get messing with them.
1984 has come and gone
Unfortunately- Iggy is right. The government has been making backroom deals like these forever and there really is nothing the public can do about it. There really is no such thing as privacy anymore.
Remember kiddies! the ONLY secure computer is the one that has no media drives what so ever, is unplugged from power, networks, and phones, and exists only in a bank vault encased in concrete. Otherwise...

I reported this on my blog the other day, good to see the word is spreading! It is very scary and oh-so-Big Brother
Gee, u think that might have created the memo about Dubya Bush being a total coward and deserter, and sending it to media outlets all around?
Just think'in
The government has been able to do this for years. When I worked for the Navy in their Bureau of Naval Personnel, in 1999, their "secret" cleared printers had to be destroyed in a very specific way, not just broken up. The Toner cartridges even had to be destroyed to ensure no one could pull the data out of them. These regs had been in place for years! Tell me, what do regulations like that make you believe about the government's capabilities?
I really miss privacy (if such a thing ever really existed)
