helpd http-download.intuit.com

Anyone else have the system process helpd trying to contact http-download.intuit.com all the time?

helpd is the daemon that connects to the online help system on Apple's servers. Why would it be trying to connect to Intuit?

Perhaps Intuit uses Apple's Help View app, and has further content available online?

Given that they've only just started writing Intel apps, Intuit's probably not quite up to speed....

Only Intuit product I've got is Quicken Essentials which I haven't used in about 2 years. Strange that it'd start popping up now when it didn't before and when I'm not running the app.
