The only records I have from the pings are from yesterday (when I 
started logging them).
It sends three pings (not replied to) to www.transamericana.org during 
login process and then stops until I login again (either by reboot or 
logoff/login).
Attached are two files with results from "HiJackThis", as per Gregh's 
suggestion. They show the running processes and the list of programs 
executed during login.
