suresh@frodo 12:23:32 [~]$ whois 66.151.179.147
Internap Network Services PNAP-06-2001 (NET-66-150-0-0-1)
                                  66.150.0.0 - 66.151.255.255
Promosis Inc. PNAP-BSN-PROMO-RM-01 (NET-66-151-179-128-1)
                                  66.151.179.128 - 66.151.179.191

The promosis.com site, however, is an all flash site that says they've
developed promo campaigns for Bose, Oracle, art.com, Forbes etc. 
Looks legit ..

Any idea?  Something that works when NS is changed couldnt be spyware
on the guy's PC though he is a newbie to linux, and is surfing the net
using firefox on a windows PC
