HI,

on my box, i have installed many proxy servers and filters that guarantees that i see nothing bu the things i want to see when surfing theweb, i block banners popups javascript and tons of other things that suck. A coupleof days ago i started digging into my logfiles and noticed many requests made by some software to strange URL's and accessing the web in a smart way without my permission for this, i will be here posting some of these URL's maybe somebody can help me identify them or help me with any information regarding this topic, take a look.....
