I'm beginning to believe it was something to do with ef and the up coming release of P7. I know a few of you have not pre-ordered P7 but I think the majority of us has and maybe this was not an update from ef but a check of valid serial numbers of those of us who have ordered P7. I know I did and I chose the electronic delivery. As I said I noticed this problem just about the same time ef announced the release and ship date of P7 which was before the release of V4.
This make me wonder if ef sent this verification of serial numbers as an update which really messed up this function in P6. I don't know it's just a theory and my 2 cents. I know now that I have unchecked the "check for updates" I'm not getting the error now.
I did the same for Windows too. I don't take the auto updates I do them myself for this very reason.
