I say I'd rather be with an ISP that didn't invite a rootkit pusher to plumb servers into its network.

And I'd rather get my anti-phishing software from somewhere other than a spyware developer.

In fact I'd like to know a little more about the webwise software.

Is its real purpose to tie a click stream to a browser/user rather than just a connection? What sort of due diligence has been done on the code? At the very least I'd want to see the source (unobfuscated, with English rather than Russian comments).

Note that the opt-out appears partial and highly misleading. Opting out requires a cookie - clear your cookies and you're opted back in. Worse still, this only opts out of the ads (which are easily blocked anyway) Phorm still get your browsing history.
