These days I think everything is suspicious. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me!
There was once a website for whistleblowers who wanted to remain anonymous but it was taken over by people who wanted to catch whistleblowers. If you want to hide on the Internet you are encouraged to get a VPN. That means that by monitoring VPN providers, rather than ISPs, you have a higher probability of catching people up to no good.
People who offer free services on-line are suspicious. Why not just let you download the program? If they do the processing then they have your data. The same goes for cloud storage and email systems like GMail etc.
