OK, I just noticed in BM messages tab that it keeps contacting WCG even though I do not have any boxes attached. So what gives? Any ideas?

TIA

Do you mean that you have a box attached but set to no new work, but periodically it requests an update?

If so, that's relatively common - quite a few projects out there request updates, even if no box is crunching for them. PG, GPUGrid, DDM, etc. all do that...

Nope. WCG, is not listed in my BOINC Manager on any of my systems. It is still on my BAM list.
