They are insisting me to use a particular anti-virus. When I installed a better anti-virus, their software stops and prompts me to uninstall it. (Their anti-virus is not at all acting as an anti-virus. It acts as virus informer only)
The bigger issue than the anti-virus is, they are spamming me with the promotional newsletters. I have specifically unsubscribed from all the newsletters. They are again and again overriding my unsubscription. (I asked them to stop this but they responded with unrelated answer)
Can I sue them? Or will there by any catch in their user agreement? (I didn't sign agreement separately. But there were some fineprints in their application)

Thanks to all. I have already spoken to their customer care (probably customer don't care). One of their staff asked me to send a mail or letter in writing, so that they would pursue action. But, they responded with some unrelated topic.
And, you made me laugh, Grumpyoldman.

Try talking nice to the customer service manager and see if you can't get comped a few months or a break on the software.

No, but you could present the letter from your ISP to your employer explaining that the connection issues are on their end and not your fault. If your company then decides to fire you anyway, that's their legal right. Unless you have a contract with them that states specific termination guidelines. However, if like most people in America, you're an "at-will" employee, they can fire you even if the internet problems aren't your fault if they simply feel that you're less productive anyway and not worth it to them to keep giving you a paycheck without getting work from you. It's like a person who works from home and their house catches on fire. Their employer is under no obligation to keep them hired with little production just because the reason for their lost production isn't their fault.

i don't think this is a good enough reason to sue them, did you speak directly with a representative if you didn't i suggest you do. and as of the antivirus thing sometimes they install some components by themself without you even notice run a scan then go to your add/ remove programs and check if there is anything belonging that protection program and uninstall it if the problem persist use a filter.
Good luck.... evilbaby

ISPS can instate a policy like your has on you legally. You can try to sue, but I doubt you'll win.

This is America. You can sue anyone for anything.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything.
You can't win, though, because you have no damages. If you don't like it, change providers.
