Here is a possibility to fight Carnivor or DCS-1000, Echelon, or what ever they called this thing. The spyware is reaching your computer on its own frequency, different from dial-up, DSL or cable. It could be filtered out by relatively simple electronic devices, but the Big Brothers do not allow selling these filters, so you have to make them for your self. The simplest one is just a capacitor 0.01-0.03 uF range, like this in RadioShack store: 0.01µF 500V 20% Hi-Q Ceramic Disc Capacitor Pk/2 Model: 272-131 | Catalog #: 272-131.
Connect red and green wires in your phone socket with this capacitor. Your computer also can be reached through the AC power line by one of dear neighbor terminal operators, so protect your power divider. Open its cover and use three of these capacitors to connect plus and minus, minus and ground, plus and ground pairs of wires in the AC divider. Disconnect from the PC any radio frequency devices, like Wi-Fi adaptor, Wireless router, cordless phone,etc.
Now the spyware will have a substantial interference in getting you information. Nothing will happen first, but after a while your Internet will going slow, sometimes very slow. This thing is going to use your Internet channel to intercept your activities. And it needs a lot of traffic, much more than the target computer uses for itself.
Verizon on-line traffic analyzer used to show that my ”traffic is used by unknown application.” When I started to ask questions to tech support on slowing my Internet, they simply removed this option from their speed report. They blamed wires, my WLAN card, my software and possible virus infections. They played a fool. I have spent many hours talking to my ISP tech support. But I have saved the speed reports for one year and I can go to the court. They have a right to spy on me, but I am still not obligated to pay for this from my pocket.

This sounds a bit more like a rant rather than anything else. "Policeware" is nothing new (thank the Clinton administration) and the average joe has nothing to fear of it. Unless you are breaking the law, but then why would you log your criminal activities by using your PC?

Of course you can stop it. If you prove yourself worthy, I'll let you join the revolution.
Oh, bring kool-aid.
