What the hell is wrong with M$ paint?

Every time I try to save something on paint, it tries to connect to some random ip, eg 69.94.107.14, though the last number varies slightly (~10-50).  It would be less annoying if it didn't take 5 minutes for paint to do this.  Strangely, nothing irregular happens if I pull my network cable.  Any idea what's going on?  That ip doesn't seem very suspicious.

Is there a default copy of mspaint.exe I can compare with?

Thanks for your thoughts,

but this seems rather innocuous (given what it could have done), and doesn't solve the problem
