[QUOTE="JudeIscariot, post: 167623, member: 15275"] Which, while I wouldn't recommend doing it, is actually really easy to avoid and stop from happening. You can reroute it to home or simply install a firewall that can stop it from contacting anybody. If they were smart, they'd do what Microsoft almost did with the upcoming Xbox, and simply require it to check in. As it is now, most software doesn't require it to check in, it just does. If it doesn't require it, it's easy to stop it from doing anything. [/QUOTE]
