Spyware in Xceed controls

[User (Old forums)]

#17959 |

I’m testing Xceed.SmartUI . I’ve created a new project in vb.net and added a new empty form.
In this form I added :

Imports Xceed.SmartUI
Imports Xceed.SmartUI.Controls.ExplorerTaskPane
Imports Xceed.SmartUI.UIStyle

Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Xceed.SmartUI.Licenser.LicenseKey = “SAMPLE-APPLICATION-KEY”
‘This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
‘Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub

No other code is in the program
When I started the program it tried to access the network !!!
It tries to reach site 64.94.110.11:80

When I’m commenting out the line with the license key, no access to the network occurred.

Does your software components include spy ware ????
Where can I find detailed information if and when your components are accessing the network
to which IPs are they connection ?
Which data are transmitted ?

I will never include spy ware software components to software which I sell to my clients!
Has anybody the same experience ??

I don’t think it’s spyware. It might be part of the .NET framework.
You can use your browser to go to that site, and you’ll just see a list of files you can download. The files seem to be certificates or something like that.

If you do a reverse DNS lookup, you’ll find out that the IP-address is connected to the website http://crl.verisign.com
Googling for that URL, I found an article ‘<b>Why is my computer trying to contact crl.verisign.net?</b>’: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7998
