I have this experience and, in my case, it is related to the fact that I regularly copy
and paste data from the internet to a workbook.
When I do this it asks for access to the internet so I don't think it's an "infection",
but, as I said, I'm not an expert.

Thanks for the reply. I could imagine how that might happen, that
Excel would try to update your pasted data. In my case, I never did
any internet cut/paste to this WB. It's pretty vanilla, though it
does have a few macros. Also, the sites it's requesting are not
consistent, and not anyplace I've been.
