Hi Rubielyn,

I work in IT and in my shop connecting via the Internet to an entity like Intuit when it is not necessary would be considered a security hole. 

Please remember that I am talking about the Desktop version!  There are many  people who buy the Desktop version vs. the Online versions because they do not trust the Internet for holding their financial data - the Internet is not a secure place.   Every day there are reports of security breaches.

This feature does NOT add security - quite the opposite.  If you are a hacker/bad actor and you are using QB, you wouldn't mind telling QB to remind you in 7 days every week - a small price to pay to cover your tracks.  But if you are a legitimate user of QB (as I am and as most folks using your product are) you are trying to get your work done and this nag is highly annoying, unnecessary and opens a security hole.  Please remove this persistent nag.
