Does DVDFab Decrypter (free) transmit log information back to their servers?

Someone told me that DVDFab Decrypter sends log information of what you decrypt to their servers. Said his firewall caught it.

I think that sounds like crap, but he swore he read about it from others too. I can't find anything via Google searches.

Anybody know anything about this? Is it true? Or just a lie from some lamer?

Thanks

Never heard it myself, how did he prove it was other than traffice thru his firewall?

No proof offered.

So, I downloaded the latest version of both the DVDFab Decrypter app and the firewall and duplicated the experiment. Got no notice of any attempt to access the net and the rip worked fine. I even unplugged the network cable and redid the test. Nada.

Maybe it's a false positive due to some spyware or malware he has on there that is trying to attach itself to an outgoing process or something.
