hello,
WinXP Pro SP1 IE6 SP1 here and have seen the same thing. I would have
assumed it would have been IE6 calling out, but what seems odd is it's
Explorer.exe that is calling out. I just assume their checking for updated
certificates. What is really odd is I noticed the same thing happening
whenever I'm online (56K) and I right click any file to check properties. I
tracked this down to the security update 828026 for WMP 9. I uninstalled
828026 and the calling out, when right clicking any file, stops. I have WMP
9 auto updating disabled, but when reinstalling the update Explorer.exe
still calls out to crl.verisign.com whenever I right click any file while
online. Now this I think is odd behavior.
