AntiVir Internet access

[Topha]

I'm using the AntiVir Freeware as a virus scanner, and I'm quite happy with it. Since one of the more recent updates though (a few weeks ago I think) I always demands Internet access. When I deny it, it will just stop working, and when I grant it ZoneAlarm shows that it has steady Internet activity.

Anyone know what it is doing, and why, and how to stop it? Or is it supposed to do that?

Nevermind, found it in their own support forum, oops

So what is it?

Since version 6.26 or something like that the AVGuard and the AVMain programs communicate via TCP (127.xxxx) address, its stated on their homepage, and its the adress zonealarm showed, so I guess its OK
