Curious why Stardock software on my PC is phoning home to Stardock every 5 minutes? I do not have Check for Updates turned on.

You need to be more specific about what application is "phoning home". For instance I have several widgets such as weather that look for updates every few minutes, and that will trigger some firewall apps to flag it.
