Obviously paranoid! What do you do about all the other programs that check 
for updates frequently? Off the top of my head on my computer, Microsoft 
does it to update Win8 and all my Office programs, Adobe does it to update 
Reader, Lightroom, and now Photoshop CC, Nikon does it to update Nikon 
Capture, NikonView, and Camera Control Pro, Eizo does it to update its 
Navigator software, Google does it to update Google Maps,  CCleaner does it 
to update itself, Directory Opus does it to update itself, PhotoMechanic 
does it to update itself, and so on.

We can choose not to accept the updates they find, but why would I do that? 
Updates are for my benefit if they cure bugs or give me new features.
