Looking for ISP, again

[Ian Zimmerman]

Now considering Rogers ...

Can Rogers customers here comment on this part of their web site
(http://www.shoprogers.com/Store/Cable/InternetContent/information.asp):

>>
Security
Enjoy peace of mind with email virus and SPAM protection, desktop
anti-virus, pop-up blocker, anti-spyware, parental controls and
firewall protection. They all work together to help keep your Internet
experience worry free.
<<

Obviously most or all of this is undesirable.  So:
is it on by default?
if yes, can it be disabled from Linux (and without Flash or other web
abuse plugins)?

Thanks
