As others have already pointed out...

• 66.198.96.50 (Tata Communications) seems to be a root problem for people in the US and EU.
• 192.34.76.2 (Ormuco) is another problem that needs to uninstall. =P
• 199.91.189.25 (Eidos) is your own server (Gilgamesh)

I guess you could put Chicago on alert, but all these issues really start in Canada.
