ObjectDock or IconPackager making TCP connections to 38.99.229.8/15:80

from Stardock Forums
I just installed PeerGuardian and it alerted me that a TCP connection is being made from my PC to both 38.99.229.8:80 and 38.99.229.15:80 - both are identified as "Stardock Corporation."

I'm only running ObjectDock and IconPackager, so I assume that it's one of them making the TCP connection. What are these IP's used for, and what info is being transmitted?

Thanks!

I would suspect that the weather docklet in OD is calling home for a weather update.

You sure it's not the docklet downloading bank account and social security information?

LOL - it would cost more in electricity to run the endpoint PC in that case for 3 seconds than what would be available in my bank account. Oh, that's right - I don't have one...

I'd say that generally a Zubaz is more trouble than its worth... Stardock seems to like this one tho, so I suppose they can keep it.
