v1.4.2 beta 2 tries to access internet

I just installed the latest beta, v1.4.2 beta 2.  Shortly after starting Foobar I got a message from Webroot that Foobar was trying to access the internet.  I never had this happen with any other version.  Why is this happening?  Is it anything to worry about?

Hi there,

What plug-ins do you have installed? There are many that look things up online (lyrics, bio, etc)

Cheers

I do have bio and lyrics and assumed it was accessing the internet all along.  But Webroot had never flagged it before and it is a brand new beta so I was a little concerned.  Also windows defender flagged it on install which had never happened before, although I did see a notice that this could happen.  I guess I won't worry about it.  Thank you very much for your reply.
