But still what if the software you are being 'fed' is all tampered software, so that after replacing the computer, as soon as you use software, you are compromised again? Purchasing a new computer can also be expensive, and still in any case, you might find that any software pre-installed on it may have already been compromised. Eg. suppose you are a person like Edward Snowden, and that you are a targeted individual. Then such intensive manipulation is perhaps entirely plausible.
