    If you read the EULA you will prob find a reference to it in there, so aslong as you clicked "I agree",when prompted, it cant be classed as a Violation of Privacy!

    If you are being taken to 239:255:255:250 port 1900, then you are at looking at SSDP using multicast to locate a gateway, or upnp................

    You must be using XP or ME?

    Just run a scan on the IP addy that I have supplied............you will get about 800 hits

    I am not worried personally, it is up to you...............

    IMO its not just invasion of privacy, its theft of services. using an internet connection that you pay for to collect info that they want. if they want someone to take a survey thay can ask and pay for it like respectable survey takers do.
    Bukhari:V3B48N826 “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.’”
