As part of the update system the tool is checking for updates to itself,
that is because if you think about it MS may want the ability to turn it off
in case of errors. Imagine a simple error causing the tool to deny updates
to legitimate owners, that would be most annoying and would defeat the
purpose of the tool completely. It is unfortunate that MS did not originally
put this in large case letters right at the start of the EULA but to most of
us it is pretty obvious that a tool that depends on communicating via the
internet is going to, well, communicate via the internet :)

I installed the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification application and
presumably it did its checks and decided my system was genuine. I would
think that's it.
So why is it trying to access the internet every day as soon as I switch
on?
What's going on?
