Why does Fences communicate with IP address 91.209.196.174?

from Stardock Forums

Love the product but during a normal Network Monito I see that Fences communicates with IP address 91.209.196.174.

Curious why Fences is talking to this site?   Thanks

Really? At what point did Fences establish a connection? Are you sure it's not somehow related to something running on your system, perha something offered here http://www.comodo.com/ (perhaps their personal firewall?)

I just opened tcpview and didn't see any open connections with Fences. I use tcpview fairly often too and run fences all the time.

According to my Nortin Internet Security Log, I get a daily instance of Fences.exe preparing to access the internet

perhaps its todo with the auto update feature. You could always block it in the firewall if you are worried

This is windows/commodo attempting to get a certificate from commodo to verify if the program (Fences) is a risk.
