Who's using a Google Web Accelerator? Few minutes after I click
"Stop Google Web Accelerator"program my google ads change to a spam ads like You Won,You got 1 Message, Congrats, etc. few seconds after loading it.

At first I taught my site or my PC has a virus, adware or something. After few minutes of scanning it the result was negative so I tried browsing other sites and found out that every site I browse change its ads to a spam ad. So I taught maybe my DNS server is causing it so I change it and still got the same problem. After turning the Web Accelerator back-on fix everything.

Hmmmm?? :confused:

I don't use it because it didn't speed up the loading of the pages.
Most people on a fast broadband Internet won't find any difference.

All sites with adsense ads. After loading the adsense ads the it suddenly change to spam ad after 1-2secs. (You won, Spyware alert, You got message etc.) Maybe that's why Google adsense site was down a while ago to fix it.

umm...no. :rolleyes:

those type of ads wont be accepted in adwords.
never used Web Accelerator,but i would asume it has to do with cache and thats why you see adsense when it is on and the other ads when it is off.

you have some virus,adware,or hijacker.
maybe you have a toolbar installed and thats what is doing it.

NO, At first you can see the adsense ads after 1-2 secs the ads is redirected or changing to a new ads. In the lower left side of firefox where you can see the link I can see "redirecting" or "transferring" to a random IP. I tried uninstalling the web accelerator, clear cache and reboot the system but still All the adsense ad is changing. After that incident adsense site and google web accelerator download link was down for few hours. After the maintenace I download and installed the web accelerator again to fix it. After angilina posted I tried disabling and uninstalling the web accelerator so I can show or take a screenshot of it. But it don't work anymore.

BTW! Where is those spam ads (You won, 1 Message receive, Congratulations etc.) came from? I think it came from dark side of google. :confused:

The Google Web Accelerator is useless IMO. I tried it and could see no difference.

it has nothing to do with google or the web accelerator.
those ads,like i said are not allowed in adwords.they look for the cheapest rates and ones that can produce lots of traffic.
you sir,have one of those installed.:p

I'm having this problem when I'm uninstalling the accelerator. Mcafee didn't detect any spyware and virus. Trendmicro didn't detect any adware and hijacks. I also tried changing my DNS server but still having that problem so I decided to reformat it.
