PAHUD wanting to connect to the internet

[davmcg]

I contacted the makers and remarked that I thought that PAHUD constantly connecting to the internet was unnecessary and represented a security risk. They replied:

"I am sorry you are uncomfortable with that; however, there is no security risk involved. We have thousands of customers who have never had any problems with this."

Is this correct? Am I the only one who feels that software should only connect to the net when it is necessary for its functionality?
