Why is ClearScope trying to access the internet?
ClearScope connects to the internet for two reasons. First, the system automatically checks the ClearScope servers for software updates. This ensures that you’re always preparing with the newest version of our software. Second, to ensure security and proper function, ClearScope’s software must be authenticated. If online, the software can authenticate automatically without any action on your part. If your computer is online and you received a message telling you that you need to authenticate, you may need to adjust your Windows Firewall or other personal firewall settings. Your software will make an attempt to connect to our servers each time it is run.
