The site won't let me in without a login. I am not going to play with it any
more.

You have "Automatice Updates" turned on in Windows.

It looks like some kind of network management solutions company; "motive",
with a stylized 'm', as in the '@' symbol.

Another networking solutions company.

Sam Spade says that this one isn't going to leave my computer:

07/29/04 17:40:11 dns naipe.no-ip.org
Canonical name: naipe.no-ip.org
Addresses:
  10.10.10.10

I don't see anything alarming about those sites, but possibly somewhat
sleazy; depending up what sort of network management software you have
installed. I wonder if it is just attempts at automated updating of
installed programs, though. Check what is running on that computer.
