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.
