It could be that the script is set to check for updates automatically. Or, it may be that the script is a trojan/keylogger/etc and is trying to send them your data. It would be a good idea to unload that script until you have a chance to look through the script to find out what the script is doing and why. You can probably also google the script to see what other users have experienced. Either way, I'd recommend unloading it until you know for sure if it's safe.
You can find me at #Invision on irc.irchighway.net or #OldGames on irc.undernet.org if you need me for anything.
