Please explain why Outlook 2002 makes a connection to one
of the following when started?

sitefinder-idn.verisign.com
crl.verisign.com

We have a serious problem with any program on any of our
systems that makes a connection that is not directly user
initiated!

What mechanism by design or otherwise is responsible for
this?
 
Ask VeriSign as their problem with expired certificates this week played
havoc with a number of systems/programs.
