WebbIE has an automatic update mechanism. This is fired by any of the WebbIE programs. It checks the website for any updates, a maximum of once a week. This is what triggers firewalls, certainly, and might be what you're experiencing.
Most of the Accessible and WebbIE programs query the web - the WebbIE site or something else - when first run, so they may look like dodgy programs to heuristic scanning techniques.
