They are checking you out to make sure your copy isn't pirated.....just kidding. It's an option under options>preferences that allows it to connect to the net to search for upgrades. I disable it- as much as I'm online I'll know the minute an update becomes available. If anything I'd engage internet lock (if your using a firewall) while editing...that way you won't wast any cpu processes inadvertantly. People are ALWAYS pinging and scanning ports.

Yep, its called “Use Net Notify to stay informed about Sony products”. Just uncheck it and it will stop.

And versions 3 and 4 BOTH did it as well. Don't recall on version 2 but wouldn't be surprised if it also did.

And that's why I use a firewall and ZoneAlarm Pro. Nothing gets in and Nothing gets out unless I say so.

Hey, maybe that makes me a pirate?
