If you sign up with Juno (a free ISP), you must download software that gives them the right to use your computer for any computation they see fit. Here's an excerpt:
"You expressly permit and authorize Juno to (i)
download to your computer one or more pieces of
software (the "Computational Software") designed
to perform computations, which may be unrelated
to the operation of the Service, on behalf of Juno
(or on behalf of such third parties as may be
authorized by Juno, subject to the Privacy
Statement), (ii) run the Computational Software on
your computer to perform and store the results of
such computations, and (iii) upload such results to
Juno's central computers during a subsequent
connection, whether initiated by you in the course
of using the Service or by the Computational
Software as further described below ... you agree
not to take any action to disable or interfere with
the operation of ... any component of the
Computational Software. "
