    I've been wondering about this.

    I've looked through the TOS and Policy documents and can't see any mention of it.

    Does anyone know if google frowns on AdSense being displayed on a page that also distributes adware?

    Before you start on me about the evils of adware, I know it's evil, I'm not planning on doing it myself but I have seen sites doing it.

    I don't think Adsense cares. It has nothing to do with their ads, since by "distributing adware" I'm assuming you mean selling affiliate links that installs adware.

    Distributing adware as in allowing download for some kind of software?
    Nothing against TOS as far as I can remember but again, do check with the Adsense team to be certain.
