What if Microsoft hacked into torrent sites and added viruses to all illegal game files?  They would have to do it secretly but that could work, even though it's illegal.

They wouldn't have to. They already uploaded 'leaked' versions of certain games to torrent sites to catch out people who have hacked Xbox 360s on Xbox Live.

Is that true and how does that work? Is MS then able to track down and sort out the users playing those 'leaked' versions on Xbox Live?

Well they did upload the copies themselves so yeah they could definately track down the people who used them. Its probably got something to do with how the game identifies itself on Xbox Live. People wouldn't know its different until they got banned.
