Just stumbled on a new adware called Focusbase this morning. You might have noticed it on your machine by new ads labeled  Ads by Focusbase appearing or the Focusbase add-ons listed in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

I found the Focusbase adware bundled with another program. The installer file was called FlvPlayer.exe and was digitally signed by a company called Outbrowse LTD.
