  1. I'm a software engineer and what may not be obvious to the layman is that almost all software is built up from other software, like bricks in a wall. A vast amount of this "other" software, known as "middleware", is available for free (known as "shareware") to software developers just to download and use for their own commercial products at no charge. Supposedly all the shareware is made by "enthusiasts" who are happy to contribute their time for the good of the world. !!!BS!!!! There is certainly intel money all over the place compromising the shareware. And we developers have built this comprised code into every piece of software we made because we never have the time to write all the software from scratch. No amount of user caution or air gaps can save you if the malware was built-in at the factory.
