Q: Little Snitch intercepted "Noticeboard wants to connect to swscan.apple.com" Legit?
I have Little Snitch monitor for new connection requests. For the first time, something called "noticeboard" is trying to connect to swscan.apple.com. I assume (hope) this is legit since swscan.apple.com is used for upgrades. But I've never seen it before. I've searched high and low and cannot find what "noticeboard" is. I assume it's some inner workings of the OS, but would love to know for sure. Thank you.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Thank you all for your comments. My original concern was simply whether the communication related to Noticeboard was legitimate (i.e. Apple). Regardless of whether it is a GOOD communication, or something desired or not, I'm now convinced that it is legitimately an Apple thing and not non-Apple malware of some sort. My question was answered and again, thanks to all.
