    Looks like the adsense trojan that poped up in december is done for. Maybe because google was after them, anybody see a change in earnings?

    I never noticed an effect. Perhaps it was not that widespread?

    I doubt that it was very widespread. Unless you are some kind of idiot you should be safely protected by multiple firewalls, anti-virus software, spyware removers etc.
