outbound network connections
why is it that these patches once downloaded, require to make an outbound connection on port 80 to the world wide web?

I am sure it is nothing more then updating ms on who installed the software patch, but come on, monitor the downloads, not the installs please, i had to hit ok three times to allow the patch to install because my firewall was blocking it
