   Them not providing information on when that it happens and how it impacts   
   your machine is definitily a red flag.  FUD comes to mind (Fear,   
   Uncertainty, Doubt).   
      
   Heck, if your 'puter has internet access than the router can 'see' your   
   puters IP.  It has to, otherwise it can't give your 'puter the responses to   
   requests it send.
