Yes. As part of my agreement with my telephone/internet provider, I have to use one. A few years ago I found myself in a situation where for some reason I couldn't send or receive any email. When I called the phone company, they told me that my email privileges had been revoked because I was sending out thousands of emails. I wasn't.
They gave me a list of things to do to rid my computer of adware/spyware, and once I finished the list, they gave me back email privileges. I didn't have a computer virus, but my computer was riddled with all sorts of adware and spyware, which was in turn sending out the mailings. So while I know they aren't monitoring my computer themselves, I enjoy my email privileges and don't want them revoked again, so I continue to use an adblocker, together with a malware finding program which I run twice a week.
