I have multiple PCs running BOINC using my "always ON" broadband internet connection. However, for enhanced security, I prefer to release the IP address on any of my computers when they are not actively being used. But with the new BOINC 5.4.9 version, when I return to any computer, to renew my broadband IP address, I find a "screen full of popup reminder windows" stating BOINC needs to connect to the internet. Each of these BOINC popup reminder windows needs to be closed one by one. One popup reminder window would be sufficient... but a screen full??? I uninstalled BOINC 5.4.9 and went back to 5.2.13 which does not polute my video display with unwanted popup reminder windows. Please add an additional feature to version 5.4.9 allowing BOINC users to disable popup connection reminders when they don't want them. Thanks very much ... a dedicated SAH cruncher since 1999.

You already have the feature to disable the BOINC network connection - this will also remove the reminder windows.
