Check for Adware per Apple Kbase article

AdwareCheckExtensionAttribute.py

#!/usr/bin/python
"""Identify or remove files known to be involved in Adware/Malware
infection.

Most of the code applies to building a list of malware files. Thus,
both extension attribute and removal handling are included.

Cleans files as a Casper script policy; thus, it expects four total
arguments, the first three of which it doesn't use, followed by
--remove
