Safe way to determine origin of a web address?
 

Okay, so I have this address that keeps popping up in my history of sites no matter how many times I delete it off my IE history of visited pages.
It comes back every time. I've googled it and find a ton of random sites that include this address. I don't want to post it up here because I don't know if it is spyware or whatnot, but I'm not sure how to find out what it is or where it came from without potentially getting redirected or infected. Any ideas? It contains the phrases with dot com attached:

friendconnect.gmodules
gadgetsgoogle
friendconnect
truthbomb.blogspot
opensocial

All of which I recognise as legit sites but there is tons of jargon inbetween and I don't know what to do. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks!

It's me, I'm worming my way into yer hard drive. SURPRISE!!!

Dude, I totally called dibs on stalking noodle.

It has to do with an RSS feed you subscribed to. Each and everytime you clear your history and log back into your google mail or some other account run web application it redownloads itself as a cookie. To verify my theory, clear you history, cookies and any active log ins right about now and check immediately after without logging back into anything.

Well, truthspot is possibly either a religious education site or a jehovah's witness site so one or the other of those deities may be trying to send me to hell for my porn collection, but I'm still worried.

most likely it involves some website you subscribe to, login under, and the cookie re-engages itself.

this is just an educated guess, though, as I have only what you have provided for us.

safe and not dangerous
 

Get their name, address and maybe more at a domain lookup like 'Whois' found at Networksolutionsolutions.com, Domaintools.com or Cqcounter.com.

use firefox, it's safer.


Yeah I know has very little to do with this issue, but I had to say it. I'm a windows administrator, so I say it often ;)

Thanks y'all. I've actually cleared all my cookies and went way back on clearing and deep cleaning stuff and it hasn't come back again.
I appreciate the feedback.
