PureBasic IDE phoning home

[offsides]

No paranoia here, but why does the IDE try accessing the internet, usually when loading a program?
Checking for upgrades?
Frequency of use tally?
Stealing my elegant code?
(Wait, I said no paranoia)
Thanks,
Bill

It shouldn't do that. Either you have a virus, or you have a paranoid firewall that detects the connection between the IDE and the debugged program.

It doesn't do that.

[rsts]

It's never done that for me.

Maybe your app is accessing something?

[IdeasVacuum]

....is it a lib that has automatic update checking perhaps?

[Nituvious]

What IP address does it try to connect to?

If you are using Windows 7 I had the same experience a while back. It was Win7...

I think I posted how I turned this off (run as admin I think!)

[Demivec]

Perhaps it's anti-virus software comparing your program's checksum to an updated database.

I noticed the behavior when fiddling with some of the requesters that access files or drives. I think it's a network query of some kind, as in polling for all drives, including networks.

At any rate, it's not important and can be turned off easily enough.

Besides, Freak's response answered the main question. (Thanks.)
