It doesn't.  What are you seeing that indicates it is?

My Webroot Security comes up and says,

I just verified, in debug, the film viewer is not even initializing the winsock stack in Windows.  Without that, it cannot talk to any network connection.

Your program is either misinterpreting something, or something bad has attached itself to the film viewer.
