What is 'dashboardadvisoryd' for?

It tries to connect to eg-www.apple.com on a http-port. I disabled Dashboard in the Terminal, deleted the application and removed all the widgets. Is there no way to permanently rid myself of it? /sigh

What does it do, why does it try to connect, and how do I exterminate the little annoying bastard?
 
As far as I can remember it checks to see if you have the latest version of all your running widgets. You can disable it using the following in a terminal window :

sudo mv /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist /etc/mach_init.d/
dashboardadvisoryd.plist.disabled
