if you use windows with all the updates then it is spying on you.
if it's made by lenovo it's spying on you.
if it has a modern intel chipset then it's spying on you.
check if the maker is a customer of Computrace - if yes then it's spying on you.

infact to be blunt, your going to have to work pretty hard to not be fucking spied on these days.

Somewhere there they are talking about Supermicro (I think) and they are also rather sceptical...

Just cut the cord and those activities are "invisible" (barring TEMPEST or a theft of equipment).

external firewall?
because one on the machine will be worthless as the spyware runs under it.

And a firewall in an appliance (e.g., router) can be pwned.

A 6 ft gap in your network cable is really the only reliable way to keep a machine -- and the activities and data on it -- isolated (assuming no WiFi, either).
