    With uniQlicks, tracking is free. Automatically protecting the account requires a paid upgrade.

    I believe that the ones who worry about the crimes are the criminals...

    Why you worry so much? Google will handle it... there's nothing to worry about click fraud unless you are doing or planning to do something that would make google angry...

    Not agree with you, a person can't be criminal having fraud clicks from any other person. new persons are always worry about there adsense account, when they see any click bombs they consider that our account will be blocked soon

    http://www.expertdataminer.com/eng/tutorial/click-fraud-detection.html . It's a log analyzer for the desktop, if you have less than 100 visitors per day it's free, otherwise you can still use the demo version for the essential. It does what you asked for, detecting duplicated IPs, duplicated cookies, people who use an anonymous proxy, statistical anomalies with the browser field (when the IP and the cookie is not reliable) and it has also some functionalities to detect clickbots.

    I totally agree with the above. I also suspect other competitors are clicking on my ads to get my account banned :S I'm gonna try out this software.

    This is totally understandable by google in which it will be handled automatically without worrying about your account unless you do something fishy by yourself on your own site then you will have to worry !!

    You can use statcounter.

    Watch your exit links. If too many exit links is coming from the same ip. like 20 successive clicks to google ads in 1 minute, that means you are getting click bombed.

    You don't need to worry about click fraud. Adsense will filter out the fraud clicks.
