TortoiseSVN possibly flagged by IT as security risk

Hi Folks,

Yesterday I installed TortoiseSVN on a work desktop in order to download code from R-forge to compile the binary locally. The build on R-Forge had failed.

This morning I received a call from our IT security requiring a scan to be run on my machine as it was suspected of running torrent software. My IP address also suggested a port had been opened on my machine.

Uninstalling TortoiseSVN removed the port and allowed IT to connect remotely to my machine, scan is running now :)

Does it make sense that TortoiseSVN would raise this flag for ITS? I had been considering using TortoiseSVN for some projects I'm working on but may have to reconsider given this issue, or go through the certification process here.

Cheers and thanks in advance.
