Existing users, 
I'm not usually paranoid about this thing, but upon attempting to register SnapzPro, my connection monitoring software told me that 'register wants to connect to ntp0.sno.navy.mil on UDP pport 123 (ntp)' ?! What the frack? Navy Science? .mil ? Anyone else had this? Kinda freaky coming from software that can record everything I do. IS the navy trying to steal my graphic design style as a secret weapon?

Why does SnapzPro try to connect to a .mil server? - etgeek
I don't think it was Snapz trying to to connect. The mil node looks like ainternal NTP server. This is what your mac would connect to when syncing
time if you were internal to that military branch. I see this as a mis configuration
rather then a threat. Check your time preferences and determine the server
you use to get time. Now, if you were running Windozs, I would have a different
answer, because UDP 123 IS an attack vector for some viruses.
