Why does Qlock try to connect to the Internet when the About window is displayed?
This is because there is a link to our web site in the left panel. The window uses Microsoft’s standard Internet Explorer ActiveX control and is quite harmless. If you would like to check out the pages for yourself, please visit www.qlock.com/about/trial/ If you have selected any option apart from Manual Update in the Internet Sync options window, then Qlock may also try to connect the Internet periodically to obtain the correct time. Qlock uses a TCP connection on port 13 (NIST) to connect to the currently selected time server. We are very strongly against programs that violate user`s privacy, and therefore do not log IP addresses or obtain any information from your machine. If you have a personal firewall such as ZoneAlarm, Qlock will work quite happily with Internet access disabled. Although you will not be able to use the Internet Sync feature or receive DST updates.
