I am wondering if something is hijacking the engine of Privoxy - I can 
see how it could be re-purposed to redirect a browser to malware (or 
worse) sites.  Of course we don't have any control over what someone 
else, including malware developers, does with the engine of Privoxy... 
it sounds like a layer of software not of our making that is at work here.
