Thanks for the heads-up. The mentionned url is only used to check the ip of your computer, in order to connect it to the rest of the network. So nothing virus-like :)

I keep this issue open for the time being since it might be interesting to use our own checkip service instead of relying on a dyndns service.

@vladdu Smartscreen is a different beast, with different heuristics. Basically, the more a binary is downloaded and the more it will be trusted. Since we've just made a release, Smartscreen warns Windows users to tell them that this software hasn't been downloaded frequently.
