One final thought regarding “Please Login to your QB Account.” Since the message and popup does not appear when not connected to the internet while executing a QB load (see my earlier post(s)) another solution may be to identify what’s being called up on QB load and block it at Windows Firewall. Possibly by reviewing Windows Logging or monitoring the firewall at the time of QB load may reveal the outbound source or help to determine if its piggy backing on the QB Update Service, and the port used. If that could be identified it may prevent the popup even if they tried to institute a timed interval check. I will be away from forum for a while. If I have a chance I’ll check and post if I discover anything. Anyone else who’s familiar with Windows firewall, logging, registry etc. who might discover something I’m sure many in the community would greatly appreciate it.

It appears it is using TCP port 443. I blocked (outgoing) both Quckbooks exe files in Windows firewall.
