Remember that any software installed in you machine can mess with a personal
firewall's code to prevent being blocked. -though proxys should be safe.
You are right about remote installation of keyloggers though....I would
expect hackers to get to it before the old farts at the govt.
I wouldn't be completely confident though, who knows what deals the US (at
least) govt has with software developers...
