[OM] OT: Hijacked Browsers

     I seem to have encountered a browser hijacker known as "securepubads", 
which is a fairly new piece of malware from our old friend "Doubleclick".  
Looks like they're using this to bypass adblockers and firewalls.  The script 
that they run is called "pubads.js".  I found reference to it in the registry 
and deleted it.

     Anyone here encountered this late cybernuisance?
