But, my joking aside, you haven't provided much info for giving advice.

They have now found out that a huge number of commercial VPN companies
are both running tracker software and selling your data.
Worse, many are running session recording which could be making your
passwords stealable.

In the USA, ISP's like Comcast have opened up all customers rented
routers to the full public without the need for a password.
If that is your case, your private network isn't private.

If your laptop is Intel based, turn off HT/SMT.
Run syspatch and pkg_add -u.
Look at all of your logs in detail.

Use NoScript and Ghostery plugins for Firefox.
Assume that someone might be physically accessing your laptop.
The laws in the USA since 9/11 allow this to be done without you being
told.

Good luck, hopefully you are not having this problem, but paranoia is a
good thing in today's world.
