I understand Daz uses them to access your V4.1 files and automaticly update them 

You can also use them to manualy check for updates.

I hope this isn't a trend...I buy a lot of Poser stuff and I'd have my desk top filled with update icons, and my computer running constantly updating things.

Does anybody think this automatic updating is a good idea? I don't like the idea of acess to my computer. It may cause problems with my firewalls, etc.
