New Trojan Horse Replaces AdSense Ads
A new Trojan Horse that has hit the internet replaces AdSense ads with fake ones. Techshout.com is reporting on the problem. The ads look like real AdSense ads, right down to the “Ads by Google”.
The AdSense team validated the news saying, “We can confirm from the screenshots that these are fake Google ads, formatted to look like legitimate ads. We agree that this phenomenon is likely the result of malicious software installed on your computer.”
The real victims of this Trojan Horse are the AdSense publishers, since they are the ones loosing money.
Found via JenSense.

This really stinks. I am seeing clicks in Analytics that aren’t in AdSense that I am guess are because of this.
