As Benjamin asked, could you please flesh out what "blah-blah-blah-dot-com" means - what, exactly, was the site your firewall warned you about?

Forgive me, but I'm an old man with very poor vision. Using my magnifying glass, I see it is two very long URLs ending with something like after the blah-blah: < ... akametechnology.com>

More precisely, these two IP addresses: 23.59.190.113:80 23.59.190.106:80

My firewall didn't complain when I installed 3.4.0b2 on Windows.

I don't use the Windows firewall, and I have mine sent to block all apps connecting in or out unless I make specific rules for them. I have never authorized C:/Windows/System32/msiexec.exe to connect in or out (and it didn't ;-) ).
