Remove MacSmart ads from Mac OS X (Safari, Chrome, Firefox removal)

Mac users have been finding themselves in the uncomforting situation of MacSmart ads popping up on random websites. This is in fact an adware problem because the administrators of visited sites have nothing to do with the sponsored content. Instead, a hard-to-remove browser add-on compatible Safari, Chrome and Firefox generates the advertisements and price comparisons. Since this issue has a distinct malicious coloring, it has been thoroughly analyzed by the MacSecurity team and is fully described in this article, with clear removal steps provided as well.
