I'm not really concerned about it, I am guessing its just something stupid on my machine.
Can you please reply about this in the Trismegistus forum post. I just duplicated it there for stickiness sake until I can find time to clean it up (the other thread is locked so like only you and I can post in it)
I would definitely appreciate it if you guys could put your heads together and figure out what your machines have in common. I'm sure zone alarm (soft firewall I think) is detecting the outgoing activity, but there is some other software on your computer which is actually causing it. I happen to have a spare computer atm which can probably run the game enough to cause this to happen / with zonealarm. If something did happen it would mean Windows itself is connecting for some reason... if so, presumably to build a database of applications using certain APIs. You might see where the connection is going to... the server would probably give it away wherever it is. I very seriously doubt it's Microsoft's doing, so most likely setting up a test on my part would be a waste of my time.
I'd prefer if you guys could figure this out. I'm pretty disgruntled with the fact whatever is doing it does not distinguish itself from the application in question.
