Found it. I googled “d189d6a00s48y7.cloudfront.net” and found this:

Here’s a site showing the same address:

It looks like a file server. I don’t know what your computer is trying to look up, or if it has something to do with these people.
There are some other links with that address on it.
Again, I’d be cautious until you figure out what’s going on.
Best wishes from fellow Linux user!
It was not the posting of the congressmen images (in-line link) Was more recent. It might be that speed test thing. I vaguely remember using such a link that did not appear to work and I simply moved away.
Still looking for the critter.
TNX for your help.
The problem was www.Numbersusa.com
Someone sent me data from this link, will have to look it up.
The way it acts when I access that page is exactly like looking at my pings.
Thanks for your help.

found the link causing the error in a response on my ping list.
Once that response overflowed to the 2nd page of my ping list, it no longer generated the browser error pop-up. But if I look back at the older entries on the ping list it still causes the same thing for the page. Don’t suspect it does any damage, but I am always cautious of this type of event.
Have been using Linux for over 10 years. Started with a flavor of Slackware and then migrated to Mandrake and later Redhat. The machine I am using is old, I pulled the hard drive out of my newer Linux box for a friend. (he lost his job and needed it more than I did then) I will be replacing that hard drive and reloading the OS for the newer machine. Have never used Ubuntu but will probably try that when I do.
Thanks for your help.
