I see you...
Well... I don't actually see you, but this is a "cute" little doo-dad anyway:

The info is generated by a ping sent to danasoft.com and the .jpg is generated from the header information. There's nothing fishy about it... it's how the Internet works. Web servers need to know where to send the web page you request... it's like a return address... and that info is in the header of your request.
Your operating system and browser type, when properly used, can be used to send a compatable web page for your system.
It's all on the up-and-up, but it's still disconcerting to see info about your system on someone's web page!
Wanna make your own?

<script language="JavaScript">
VIH_BackColor = "palegreen";
VIH_ForeColor = "navy";
VIH_FontPix = "16";
VIH_DisplayFormat = "You are visiting from:<br>IP Address: %%IP%%<br>Host: %%HOST%%";
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.hashemian.com/js/visitorIPHOST.js.php"></script>
And it produces this:
