When I launch AvailSuite, it tries to connect to some site on the Internet. What for?
During start, AvailSuite connects to its home site www.availsuite.com to see if there are updates or service packs available. AvailSuite sends its version number, Windows version number, and other necessary AvailSuite-specific parameters. No any personal or business data is ever sent. This update checking occurs once in 3 days. If, for any reason, you don’t want AvailSuite to do it, you may disable it using AvailSuite system Options screen.
