You're being downvoted - maybe because it sounds like a snarky answer? I've thought about your response and after some thinking, I feel that it's a legitimate answer. I reflected for a moment and have decided that I am starting to do the same - using the computer with the expectation that I am not the only user. It's paranoid, but it also helps me sleep at night.
Maybe working at a large insurance company, where every keystroke could be replayed by a perfect stranger, has rubbed off on my home usage. But I come from a networking field and know perfectly well that our little home routers are not things we should rely on to be on our side. Maybe they are, but I think there's a bit of luck. A lot of planning and a bit of luck.
