You say, "FOR THE VITAE!"

To clarify a bit, Windows, on behalf of DenAgent, is contacting insanity-inc.org to download the CA's certificate revocation list. It does this to make sure the certificate that signed DenAgent hasn't been revoked.
It sends no data to the server, it only pulls the one file. If you want to see exactly what it's downloading, view the certificate and look at the CRL Distribution Points entry.

Ok, next questions.
1) Why does it need to contact any server at all.
2) Is anything from insanity-inc.org needed to run Decal programs that don't use any plugins from insanity-inc.org? (ie I run exactly 2 plugins, when Treestats is running, so why do I need anything from insanity-inc.org? Aren't they just for Insane Bot?)

#1 has been answered a few times now. It's attempting to verify the certificate. That's why it is contacting the server.
#2 the reason it is contacting insanity-inc.org is because that's where the certificate is assigned from. That's Mekle's server, and he's the one with the Certificate. It has nothing to do with the plugins or insane bot. It's because DenAgent itself is signed.

It really doesn't, which is why it sounds like they will be removing it.
Otherwise it is just a security check to make sure the certificate issued before is still valid. Kind of my understanding anyways.

Ok, let me rephrase the question then.
Why do we need this certificate at all?
[Edit]
Nevermind, Maddy answered it. You don't need it, it was apparently put in there for no good reason.

No, it was never 'put in', it was an unexpected side effect of DenAgent being a managed application that was not anticipated.
Seriously Arch, what is your issue?

Arch-Magi: Haz already answered your question before you even asked it.
DenAgent has some managed components. Those components are signed to ensure validity. They are signed with a certificate from insanity-inc.org. As a side-effect, Windows feels the need to check the certificate on those signed components. It is unintended and will hopefully be removed soon.
It seems as though you keep trying to make something out of nothing. It's not like Decal is sending your account information to the developers.. and any amount of research would have shown the exact cause.. either on these forums (in this thread) or in the ACDev forums on a similar thread.
