I need a solution

Anyone else wrestle with this click fraud binary? Apparently it gets stuck in the browser and sends ghost-clicks to an ad vendor so they can fraudulently charge their hapless clients. 

Impact on end user: poor browser/system performance, excess network traffic

Impact on hapless vendor trying to get more visitors: $$$

SEPM has logged all the URL traffic and we can see sites like cnn and huffingtonpost serving up this binary to visitors

Anyone know how this thing works, better yet how to eradicate it? There are lots of phony sites on the web claiming to help with that "post-kareeza Trojan infection". It's not a Trojan (yet) but s/b classified as agressive adware/spyware.
