My guess is you are a victim of sql injection or some other breach. It appears
that these are two advertisers, and my guess is that the script will launch
pop-under ads for an affiliate. Looking at those scripts will show that. At
least you'll have a chance that if you complain to Akamai and netegg about the
illegal activity then they will drop (and not pay) the criminal affiliate. If
you want to pursue the f*cktard, then sue the two companies and the John Doe
and use discovery to find out who the John Doe is. (standard IANAL disclaimer
applies). Then have his or her ass arrested and tossed into the federal
judicial system and any local ones you can find to prosecute.
Now on to the findings:
imiclk.com redirects to acerno.com which is a flash-only site. But in the
source of the page I found this meta info:"acerno is the only ad network that
joins hundreds of multi-channel retail and product manufacturer websites in
the industry?s only online shopping data cooperative acerno - the add
network"
Also, the flash contains the name Akamai and this is confirmed by the whois
data on acerno.com:

abmr.com is almost certainly a fake website owned by netegg.com (Domains
