taskmgr.exe accessing internet -- seems fishy

Whenever I open the task manager, the Zone Alarm firewall detects taskmgr.exe

trying to access the internet. I did a reverse DNS lookup to determine the

requested destination. It has been everything from Microsoft, to Esset - the

makers of my NOD32 antivirus, and google. Sometimes the IP address is

unresolved.

Does taskmanager have any reason to access the internet? Some have told me

no, and I cannot get an definite answer by searching the internet.
