Background processes

How come Start8 has two background processes running after installation? Is this so the software can constantly phone home?

Cheers,

One process is used to start the software at login (the service) and the other is the bit that starts Start8 in the logged in session.

Neither of those processes have any code which can communicate with a server at all.
