Just a heads up for Intel users there is a tiny operating system with full backdoor access to your computer built right onto the CPU called ME or Minix. I am sure this is used by the likes of NSA and GCHQ. Below are some links to partially disable it, but if you don't know what you are doing you could damage the CPU. Anyone else disabled this successfully? or was even aware of it?

This is why you always build your own processors, OS, and world wide web from the ground up.
