    I have disabled checking for updates in preferences, but PD still wants to connect to parallels.com on port 80 on each startup. this behavior existed in V4 and exists in V5.

    I have not authorized PD to connect to the Internet anywhere (although VMs can and do) and I don't want it to attempt a connection without my asking it to.

    How do I prevent it from trying short of a firewall rule (my current solution)? Is this a bug, or is it really designed this way? In either case, it needs to stop.

    thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
