PC Anywhere client seems to probe class C of connected networks

A new rash of abuse desk inquiries have to do with PC Anywhere probes on
port 5632 and ssh port 22 from clients within the same class C as the
computers reporting the probing.  This happens on our dynamic dialup pools
as well as netblocks we allocate subnets and dialup statics.

Does anyone have any experience with this software?  Is is on by default?
Can the probing be turned off altogether or on a per-interface basis?
Any abuse desks with many new reports of this over the last few weeks?
