Why is Core Temp app connecting to 192.185.41.230 IP in the background

Does anyone use Core Temp app? It should be a simple Windows app that displays CPU core temperature.

As a general precaution/safety rule I pass all freeware that I download from the Internet via a ProcMon / Wireshark to see if it's doing any mischief in the background.So while starting Core Temp.exe I observed that it connects to 192.185.41.230 IP address in the background.Here's a screenshot from ProcMon:





And here's the screenshot from Wireshark:



Does anyone know what is being sent in the binary form in that transmission? Why is it needed in the app that displays CPU temperature? And how to disable it?

CoreTemp checks for updates when you start it. I believe that you can disable that feature if you look in the options menu.

Its not doing anything funny its not some crazy binary form, it is an HTTP request for this file: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/coretempver.xml which tells it if it is the latest version or not.
