http://opendirviewer.com/ looks like a hotlinking script - you enter a url and it presents the big pics hotlinked on a page.

Bol.com.br is Brazil Online, and I think that the links from bol.com.br are your image URLs being posted into chatrooms. When I post tranny galleries I see a lot these hits.

You can block image hotlinking with mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess or in your apache config file. If you do a search here on the board for .htaccess or hotlinking you'll find enough information to get everything fixed up.
