Well, the NSA change the firmware on hardware before it is shipped to people  
they *specifically* target. It is not a common threat. They do that because  
no application (such as an anti-virus) can detect the malware. The only  
solution would be to flash that firmware. But, again, you probably have  
nothing to worry about.
