ATi drivers phone home?

Hi!
Today I had sort of a crash in Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow and for a split second I saw soem Ati-blabla window, but the the game window got focus again. But I could not do anything in the game, I had to log off and log on again to use Windows. Then, as I launched Outlook Express I saw that it's about to send and email to "Ati SmartStart" or whatever with a "crash.dat" binary file attached to it. Do Ati drivers do this without my knowledge? Or maybe I hit "OK" by mistake on a window that was "under" Splinter Cell?
Did anyone notice a similar behaviour?
