Well, I don't like Kaspersky for it's _enormous_ greed for resources, but here it could have it's reasons. Program that tries to connect some third-party site without user consent and download something, not directly related to this program? Highly suspicious! :P

I understand your explanation and also understand your reasons for disliking Kaspersky. Norton and McAfee users also often complain about the heavy resources these programs consume on the Operating System...
I heard from a Moderator from the Kaspersky Forums, in the Sub-Forum of the Portuguese Language, that Kaspersky uses
Secunia technology to check for updates to the applications installed on the Operating System. Well, that would be a pretty suspicious action too, right?
Probably, KIS / KTS would act as the
Secunia Personal Software Inspector (
PSI) which, by the way,
freezes frequently when it is opened...
For those interested in Software Update Checker, the best ones, in my opinion (from my past experiences
), are those listed below:
•
FileHippo.com Update Checker /
FileHippo App Manager;
•
SUMo -
Software Update Monitor (
SUMo Lite is definitely the best one, although there are some false positives of updates... *shrug*).
And curiously, while installing
Alcohol 120% Full Version, the small
Smart File Advisor can be optionally installed... Average in my opinion...
