C# app flagged in virus total "contacted IP addresses" don't know why

I have created an application in C# that is just about ready to hit production, just off the top of my head I thought I had better upload this to virus total to make sure there are no False-Positives, 2 antivirus's threw false positives, however on the behaviour tab I saw something that really concerned me, The application apparently according to virustotal connects to 3 IP's
13.107.4.52
20.189.173.20
23.216.147.64

This makes little sense to me as I have no networking code in the application and ive tripple checked all the code and cant find anything that could be doing this...
Quite puzzled, does anyone have any solutions as to why it is apparently trying to connect to these IP's?

VirusTotal[^]

What I have tried:

I have tried to go through my entire code looking for anything that looks like they could connect to those IP's with no luck.

I am using: A Ready to Use Software Licensing Solution in C#[^] for my licencing system but to the best of my knowledge this is all local based?

The first two addresses belong to Microsoft. The third belongs to Akamai, a content delivery network. I suspect the scanners didn't have the correct version of .NET installed, and tried to install it from the web.

You need to contact the owners of the Virus checking site. This is not a programming issue.
