Answer 1

could be a virus or trojan, a trojan is what allows someone else to access your computer remotely . or it could've of been you isp

As a first guess, I would think it may be a virus or trojan. But as another person said, it could possibly be a dynamic proxy by your ISP.

Its possible that its a dynamic proxy, your ISP changes it every now and then, or maybe you have spyware or a virus on you computer.
