Adobe calling Avast?????

I’m running Windows-7 / 64 bit with ESET Smart Security 4 and I just
reconfigured the ESET Personal Firewall to “Learning
Mode”……immediately after that I received the following advice:

“”adobe bridge CS5 trying to communicate with
http://www.avast.com/index.html (127.0.0.1)””

Similar thing when launching Photoshop and Adobe Premiere, then I
blocked Bridge and Photoshop to communicate with the address and
Premiere takes a long time to start, NO problems with Photoshop and
Bridge after that….

Does anyone what is this?

Is the http://www.avast.com/index.html a fake address?

BTW: I dont have any Avast program installed.

Thanks in Advance!
