These should be for server control.
Probably reallusion's servers are in China.
Baidu also provides server services if I'm not mistaken.
My guess is that the other sites on the list are also providing server or network services.
These sites are not illegal sites.
If I'm not mistaken, qq is something like msn with millions of users in China.
Content is most likely being downloaded from these servers
I think they are also used for program updates and license checks.
With the remote network connection check, the computer is not infected with a virus.
There's no way it's a virus.
These exe files are signed and certified.
Otherwise, even the simplest program would give a virus warning.
A firm like RL would not jeopardize its business future for this.
Programs with a HUB system usually have a program running in the background.
Unreal engine has programs running in the background like this.
These are just fine. Adobe is running 5-10 programs in the background :)
The biggest problem of forum sites is bots and spammers.
Peter might be spending some serious time on these.
When you become a member of the RL site, you can automatically participate in the forum site. Therefore, it may not be very difficult for spammers to become a member of the forum.
As far as I know, the forum system is already quite old.
