[opensuse] Spyware on my laptop? (hope it's not OT)

Well, i really don't know what to thing, this laptop has exclusively
linux (opensuse 10.2) and using firefox from home i get (too) often
redirected to www.city.ws/notfound.asp while trying to access any page
(google.com, local forums, etc), it's intermitent. Initially i blamed
my Linksys WRT54GX4 access point at home, so i bypassed and conected
the radiomodem directly to my laptop. The problem was still there.

Then i blamed the ISP, maybe they were using some proxy or something
alike. So, now i take the laptop to the office and don't longer get
the city.ws redirection, well, it's not the laptop, BUT trying to
access a non existant homepage (http://www.glog.ne/ for example) i get
this:

---------------
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Left'

/includestuff.asp, line 29
---------------

This message also appeared at home. Later i blamed firefox or maybe an
extension with ads or something like that. Trying to access
www.glog.ne with konqueror still gives me the VBScript error, and
between my laptop and internet there's only a cisco router.

So, WTF?!, why am i getting a VBScript error on a linux laptop running
firefox and accessing nonexistant pages?!

Anyone has seen this? or know what is this city.ws thing?
