Have you ever seen this before:?

Now somebody tell me why the software that controls the scroll wheel on my mosue wants to connect to the internet?
Thank god for firewalls. I do not want my mouse or any other piece of hardware or software on ym machine sending information over the internet without telling me first. I have also noticed DevStudio try to do the same thing. Talk about sneaking behind your customers back? There may be a legitimate reason for this mosue to 'phone home' but Im buggered if im letting it do so without a ncie dialog box to tell me exactly what information microosft want from it first.
This kind of thing really bugs me. Remember kids... dont connect to the web without a firewall... I recomend sygate personal firewall
