Armory created wallet on its own for ..................

[TerraHasher]

I was looking through my armory wallet when i noticed a new address listed. when i hover over it it says

" this address was created by armory to receive change-back-to-self for an oversize transaction"

My wallet is still showing the correct balance, but it looks like some of the funds were sent to the new address from an old address that is still active. can anyone explain what this is all about, and if i need to be worried, or what i did that made that happen?

Thanks

That's a change address, and is normal behavior. Read up about it here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change

Hey thanks Winterfrost, just one more quick question, will the change always go to that address or is it going to keep making new addresses every time i send less than the full amount of an address? It really didnt explain that well in the link you posted.

Change, by default in Armory (it's a client thing), will always go to a new address, personally, I like this feature, if you don't, change it when you're sending a payment:-
