(this is a local google site)

If you decompact the executable with UPX, these addresses are
hardcoded:
http://www.microsoft.com/
http://www.google.com/
http://www.yahoo.com/
They are followed by:
http://update1.imgburn.com/_imgburn_version.txt
http://update2.imgburn.com/_imgburn_version.txt
http://update3.imgburn.com/_imgburn_version.txt

And a little later:
//
One or more WinINet functions were unavailable...You will not be able
to check for updates..InternetGetConnectedState - ConnectionState:
0x.InternetCheckConnection Failed!..URL: ...Reason: . (.).Initial
checks have determined you're not connected to the Internet at this
time...A connection attempt will now be made......Note: If you always
see this message, automatic 'Check For Program Update' may not be
working!.InternetSetOption Failed!..Reason: .InternetSetOption
Failed!..Reason: .InternetReadFile Failed!..Reason: .InternetOpenUrl
Failed!..URL Number: ...Reason: .Failed to check for . update!.Failed
to check for . update! //
So maybe the guy is trying internet connectivity.

The nicest way would have been to connect to
http://update1.imgburn.com/_imgburn_version.txt
AFTER you press a not-activated-by-default button in the menu.
If an update is available, advise you to download it.
The url's contents are:
2.5.1.0
2.5.1.3
(current series and current build ?)

Perhaps this will explain what's happening and why,
<http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=3694>:

"its just checking there is a connection by checking 3 places that are
almost certain to be online before it checks imgburn which could (if
you have been visiting regularly) be down. its not transmitting info."
