Every time VAX checks for an update (easy to trigger by changing the checkVersionDate reg key and restarting), it thinks there is one. I have to use a proxy to access the internet so it's possible the false positive is caused by that. If it takes IE's settings it ought to work.

Interesting. What happens if you use the button:

VA Options -> Startup -> Check Now

Looks like a simple ShellExecute call with a little info (current version = 1557, button = yes). The landing page obviously says "no updates available".

Which is exactly what I am seeing. Does the link open in IE? I am assuming it does.

I just need to figure out how to add a network proxy to one of my test machines so I can reproduce this.

Setting up Windows to block the internet is not going to be easy. I'm in a situation where a program not using the proxy can't even access DNS. I suggest the return values from whatever web code you're using ought to be be checked more carefully.
