[moneydance] Ongoing network security popup in Mac OS X

[Sean Reilly]

Hi Brian,

The popup you are seeing is from something on your computer, not  
Moneydance, but I'm not sure why it would be displayed as Moneydance  
doesn't attempt to listen to any incoming network connections.  Is it  
possible that you have some third party extension installed that is  
opening an incoming network connection?  If not, I would be concerned  
that something nefarious is happening on your computer.  Do you get  
the same problem if you download a fresh copy of Moneydance from http://moneydance.com/mac? 
   What if you uninstall all of your extensions?  Or even better,  
uninstalling your extensions one by one should help determine which  
one is the culprit.

However, if the message is something more like "Moneydance.app is  
attempting to create an *outgoing* network connection" then the reason  
is likely due to the Updater extension checking for a new version.  If  
you'd rather it not do that then you should remove that extension.

Thanks,
Sean
