Why does my firewall indicate that ClipCache is attempting to contact the Internet occasionally?
There are a few reasons. ClipCache captures and views HTML clips. It is highly likely that the HTML will contain references to images on a web server. This will trigger a connection to the Internet when it tries to render a remote image for example. Also, ClipCache has an auto-update feature that checks for new versions. We want our users to be aware when a new version is released, if not only for security reasons. This update check happens once a month and a notification is displayed telling you that it’s checking. You can chose to turn off the notification but the check still happens to ensure you’re up to date. If there are updates available the you’ll always be notified – even if you disable the notification.
