bcp.exe connects to go.microsoft.com?

Hi!
We're using MSDE 1.0 and one customer informed us, that his Sygate
personal firewall spit out the following message:
bcp.exe is trying to connect to go.microsoft.com [207.46.197.43] using
port 80.
the exe's path is the path that we'd expect and bcp still does it's job,
namely saving the databases to files; so I doubt that it is a hijacked
version; but we'll have to double check that.
Can anyone explain why bcp would want to connect to a website?
Thanks,
Stefan
Check your event log. For many Microsoft Products, events that have errors
can connect to or provide a link to go.microsoft.com ... if you have error
reporting enabled that might be where the error goes...
I see this in my event log for various auditing events and errors:

Oh thank you. That is a very good hint.
