Someone recently posted that Juno now required subscribers to download a file which would perform functions not initiated by the user and leave their computers on all the time. I just saw an article confirming that. Here's the blurb: LISA BOWMAN, CNET: Juno Online Service's jump into the supercomputing business has alarmed consumer and privacy advocates, who fear the move could open subscribers' computers to vulnerabilities--including snooping by third parties such as the government. Juno quietly posted a new agreement that will change the terms for subscribers of its free Internet service. Those customers must allow the downloading of software that would perform computational tasks unrelated to Internet connection. They must also agree to leave their computers on all the time if asked. The software would replace the screen saver, and people would not be able to uninstall or tamper with it. Furthermore, under the terms of the agreement, Juno would have the right to "initiate a telephone connection from your computer to Juno's central computers."
