Default So why is AyRecovery trying to connect to the internet?

On my laptop, AyR is suddenly trying to connect, as Mamutu has alerted me. Although I have a-squared on the desktop I haven't been warned, but I see on Online Armor where there are some outgoing ports for EAZFIX files. These licenses expire in 15 days and I'm wondering if that is why they are phoning home?

Ok thank you, I was just surprised that I never had an alert from Mamutu before.
