I've just installed Paint.net 3.5.8 (SHA1 of the setup .EXE = 807551d0b891462612bde4a87e247b817e6eb81f) and my firewall kept notifying me of updates to connect to the Internet. I remember I had deactivated the "check for updates" option. Here are the connection attempts (each occurred so many times that installation took several minutes on a Core i5 with an SSD):
http://whois.domaint...m/208.112.13.16 - SetupFrontend.exe
http://whois.domaint.../91.209.196.169 - mscorsvw.exe
http://whois.domaint.../199.66.201.169 - mscorsvw.exe
http://whois.domaint...205.234.175.175 - mscorsvw.exe
What's the deal with these attempts, and can we get rid of them?
