dmnrocha is on a distinguished road
Hacked, possibly OSX.RSPlug.A

I have recently accidentally opened a file(dont remember the ext) that I believe opened in Illustrator CS3, I wasn't sure what the file was because this is a shared computer, so i just closed and deleted. Since then, my browsers Camino and Firefox have been infected, and i am using Opera because it seems it hasn't been hit yet.

The infection has randomly opened fake eBay pages and occasionally altered my viewing of web pages(including pornography ads on some pages), seemingly randomly. Just to be clear, I NEVER entered the administrator password for any untrusted programs.

I have done the crontab -l check and crontab -r check in terminal, and have checked my internet plug-ins folder, but have found nothing.

I am sure that I am infected, but I have no idea what else to do. I didn't think it was possible for malware to infect on osx without admin password, could this just be an advanced trojan?

Please Help
